Śrī Ujjwala Rasa Sāra Swabhābataḥ Dwi Prakāra
Sambhoga o Viprālambha-bhede Dvi-vidha Ujjvala-rasera Vprālambha — Meeting and Separation Are the Two States in Ujjvala-rasa. Separation
Ujjvala-rasa, the best of rasas, is naturally of two kinds: vipralambha (separation) and samhoga (enjoyment together). The pleasure in sambhoga is not properly appreciated without
vipralambha. That is vipralambha's function.
Vipralambha is of four kinds: pūrva-rāga (preliminary attraction), māna (seeming anger), pravāsa (separation by distance), and vaicittya-jñāna (apprehension). Pūrva-rāga is love born from seeing or hearing of the beloved before the actual meeting.
In māna the lovers voluntarily separate and will not see each other. This may be with reason (sahetu) or without reason (nirhetu). The anger manifested in māna is a transformation of love. These are pastimes of love.
Sahetu māna may be pacified by sweet words, witty jokes, worship, gifts, bowing down, or indifference. Nirhetu māna may quickly be pacified by a beautiful place, the passing of time, or
the sound of flute music.
Prema-vaicittya is manifested in the heart because of fear of separation from the beloved. When the beloved travels to another country, town, or forest, that is called pravāsa separation.
