TRANSLATION

"Vipralambha has four divisions-pūrva-rāga, māna, pravāsa, and prema-vaicittya.


PURPORT

Pūrva-rāga is described in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi:

ratir yā saṅgamāt pūrvaṁ
darśana-śravaṇādi-jā
tayor unmīlati prājñaiḥ
pūrva-rāgaḥ sa ucyate

When attachment produced in both the lover and beloved before their meeting by seeing, hearing and so on becomes very palatable by the mixture of four ingredients, such as vibhāva and anubhāva, this is called pūrva-rāga.

The word māna is also described:

dampatyor bhāva ekatra
sator apy anuraktayoḥ

svābhīṣṭāśleṣa-vīkṣādi-

nirodhī māna ucyate

Māna is a word used to indicate the mood of the lover and the beloved experienced whether they are in one place or in different places. This mood obstructs their looking at one another and embracing one another, despite the fact that they are attached to one another.

Pravāsa is also explained as follows:

pūrva-saṅga-tayor yūnor
bhaved deśāntarādibhiḥ
vyavadhānaṁ tu yat prājñaiḥ
sa pravāsa itīryate

Pravāsa is a word used to indicate the separation of lovers who were previously intimately associated. This separation is due to their being in different places.

Similarly, prema-vaicittya is explained:

priyasya sannikarṣe 'pi
premotkarṣa-svabhāvataḥ
yā viśeṣa-dhiyārtis tat
prema-vaicittyam ucyate

Prema-vaicittya is a word used to indicate an abundance of love that brings about grief from fear of separation, although the lover is present.
