Text

“BhÄva [emotion] has two different symptoms — constitutional and marginal. Now, My dear SanÄtana, listen to the symptoms of love.

Purport

The word Å›uddha-sattva-viÅ›eá¹£ÄtmÄ means “situated on the transcendental platform of pure goodness.†In this way the soul is purified of all material contamination, and this position is called svarÅ«pa-laká¹£aṇa, the constitutional symptom of bhÄva, emotion. By various tastes, one’s heart is softened, and there is an awakening of one’s loving propensity to render spontaneous service to the Lord. This is called taá¹­astha-laká¹£aṇa, the marginal symptom of bhÄva.
