raty-āswāda hetu jata bibhāba nāmete khyāta ālambana uddīpana hoya biṣoya-āśroya-gata ālambana dui mata kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa-bhakta se ubhoya
raty-aswada hetu jata bibhaba namete khyata alambana uddipana hoya bisoya-asroya-gata alambana dui mata krsna krsna-bhakta se ubhoya
रत्यास्wआद हेतु जत बिभाब नामेते ख्यात आलम्बन उद्दीपन होय बिषोयआश्रोयगत आलम्बन दुइ मत कृष्ण कृष्णभक्त से उभोय
All the things which cause one to taste his attachment to the Lord are called vibhava (special stimulants). The two divisions of these causes are called: 1) alambana (the persons who are foundations of support, and between whom love appears reciprocally), and 2) uddipana (the exciting factors which stimulate the awakening of love). There are also two sides to the alambana foundations 1) visayathe subject of love: Krsna) and 2) asraya (the object of love: Krsna's devotee).
- Verse 2
nāyakera śiromaṇi swayaṁ kṛṣṇa guṇa-maṇi nitya guṇa-dhāma parāt para tāṅra bhābe anurakta guṇāḍhya jateka bhakta siddha eka sādhaka apara
nayakera siromani swayam krsna guna-mani nitya guna-dhama parat para tanra bhabe anurakta gunadhya jateka bhakta siddha eka sadhaka apara
नायकेर शिरोमणि स्wअयं कृष्ण गुणमणि नित्य गुणधाम परात पर ताङ्र भाबे अनुरक्त गुणाढ्य जतेक भक्त सिद्ध एक साधक अपर
Lord Krsna Himself is full of all good qualities, for He is the most outstanding Hero amongst all heroes. He is the eternal reservoir of all virtuous qualities, and is the Supreme Greatest of the greatest. There are many, many devotees who are very much attached to Krsna in ecstatic love. These devotees are also full of transcendental qualities themselves. Some of them are known as siddha (spiritually perfect), whereas others are sadhaka (neophyte practitioners).
- Verse 3
bhāba uddīpana kore uddīpana nāma dhore kṛṣṇera sambandha bastu saba smitāsya saurabha śṛṅga baṁśī kambu khetra bhṛṅga padāṅkanūpura kala-raba
bhaba uddipana kore uddipana nama dhore krsnera sambandha bastu saba smitasya saurabha srnga bamsi kambu khetra bhrnga padankanupura kala-raba
भाब उद्दीपन कोरे उद्दीपन नाम धोरे कृष्णेर सम्बन्ध बस्तु सब स्मितास्य सौरभ शृङ्ग बंशी कम्बु खेत्र भृङ्ग पदाङ्कनूपुर कलरब
All the things which stimulate the awakening of ecstatic emotions are called uddipana. This includes Krsna's enchanting smile, His sweet bodily fragrance, His buffalo horn, His flute, His conchshell, His place of residence, the buzzing of the bees in Vraja, the marks on the soles of His lotus feet, His ankle bells, and the soft sweet sound of His voice and flute.
- Verse 4
tulasī bhajana cīna bhakta jana-daraśana ei-rūpa nānā uddīpana bhakti-rasa-āswādane ei saba hetu-gaṇe nirdeśila rūpa-sanātana
tulasi bhajana cina bhakta jana-darasana ei-rupa nana uddipana bhakti-rasa-aswadane ei saba hetu-gane nirdesila rupa-sanatana
तुलसी भजन चीन भक्त जनदरशन एइरूप नाना उद्दीपन भक्तिरसआस्wआदने एइ सब हेतुगणे निर्देशिल रूपसनातन
Other causes are the association of Srimati Tulasi Devi, the various symbols and practices of devotional service, and the vision of the Lord's bona fide representatives and devotees. In this way, there are many factors to stimulate ecstatic love. And all these causes, which induce one to taste the mellow of devotion, have been clearly described by Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Sanatana Gosvami.
