darśanāliṅganādīnām ānukūlyān niṣevayā |
yūnor ullāsam ārohan bhāvaḥ sambhoga īryate ||
(Ujjvala-nīlāmaṇi: 15.188)

“Through the adoration of seeing [one another], embracing, and so forth out of favorability [i.e. intentness upon the satisfaction of the other], the bhāva that increases the delight of a pair of youths [i.e., a nāyaka and nāyikā] is called sambhoga.”
