(Bhakti-sāra-pradarśinī-ṭīkā)
“Here in vaidhī … [i.e., BRS 1.2.5], [the word] rāga refers to deep attachment (anurāga) [i.e., the rāga that impels the actions of rāgātmikā-bhaktas] and taste (ruci) for that [i.e., the taste for that rāga of rāgātmikā-bhaktas that impels the actions of rāgānugā-bhaktas] on account of the distinction between rāgātmikā [-bhakti] and rāgānugā [-bhakti] being to be stated ahead [in BRS 1.2.270–272, i.e., the meaning of the term rāga used here in BRS 1.2.6 will be defined later in verses 270–272 of this chapter].”
