Rati Prema Sneha Māna Praṇaya O Rāgākhyāna
Madhura-rati-rūpa Sthāyi-bhābera Unnati-krama — Stages of Development in Madhura-rasa Sthāyi-bhāva
Madhura-rasa sthāyi-bhāva has seven stages, which are: prema (pure love), sneha (affection), māna (jealous anger), praṇaya (attachment), rāga (passion), anurāga (devotion), and bhāva (ecstatic love).
The six items beginning with sneha are collectively known by the name prema. Lord Kṛṣṇa reciprocates His devotee's love. In this way the confidential rasas are manifest eternally.
Seated on the throne of the devotee's heart, sthāyi-bhāva rules as the king of all bhāvas. Pure devotional service and the spiritual pleasure potency (hlādinī) are then manifested in that bhāva.
The rasas and the bhāvas beginning with vibhāva, which are all eternal, blissful, eternally perfect, and sublime are then manifest in the spirit soul's heart.
