न ह्यन्यत्र सपृहा अन्यत्र रतिः ।

na hy anyatra spṛhā anyatra ratiḥ |
(Durgama-saṅgaminī-ṭīkā to Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu: 1.3.41)

“It is not that there can be desire elsewhere and rati elsewhere.

Commentary

It is not that one who has bhāva-bhakti can simultaneously have desire for one thing (e.g., mokṣa, varities of worldly pleasure) and rati for another thing (i.e., Bhagavān); if one has bhāva-bhakti, one will have no desire for anything other than Bhagavad-bhakti.
