"If one desires enjoyment, salvation, &c., he cannot kindle love, even by means of devotion (_sádhan_). From the culture of _bhakti_ ardour is born; when ardour deepens it is called love (_prem_). As love grows it is successively called _sneha_, _mán_, _pranaya_, _rág_, _anurág_, _bháb_, _mahá-bháb_, just as we have successively cane-seed, sugarcane juice, molasses, sugar, and fine sugarcandy. All these are the enduring forms of _bhakti_ in Krishna, if they are joined by provocation and addiction of mind. When the spiritual (_sátwik_) and extensive (_byabhichári_) emotions mingle together, _bhakti_ in Krishna becomes a veritable nectar in taste, just as curd, when mixed with sugar, ghee, pepper, and camphor, becomes deliciously sweet. In different _bhaktas_ the inclination (_rati_) assumes different forms, _viz._, the _shánta_, the _dásya_, the _sakhya_, the _bátsalya_, and the _madhur_. From these differences in the nature of the passion, the mood (_ras_) of Krishna's love assumes five forms of the same name, which are called the chief _rasas_, while there are seven minor _rasas_, _viz._, the comic, the grotesque, the heroic, the pathetic, the rude, the horrible, and the timid. The five former moods permanently occupy the minds of _bhaktas_; while the seven minor moods rise fitfully when they get a favourable occasion. The nine sages [who instructed king Nimi] and Sanak and others are examples of _bhaktas_ of the _shánta_ mood. Countless are the _bhaktas_ everywhere who illustrate the _dásya_ mood. The _sakhya_ mood is typified in Shridám and other [cow-boys] and in Bhim and Arjun of Hastinapur. The _bhaktas_ of the _bátsalya_ mood are father, mother and other elders. Of the _madhur_ mood of _bhakti_, the examples are chiefly the milkmaids of Brindában, Krishna's queens, Lakshmi and countless others. "Again, ardour (_rati_) for Krishna is of two kinds: (1) accompanied by a sense of his Godhead, and (2) pure and simple. At Gokul the latter was displayed, free from any consciousness of his Godhead, while at Mathura, Dwaraka, Vaikuntha and other places the former prevailed. Where the sense of his Godhead is predominant, love [for him] is contracted; whereas the way of pure ardour is to disregard his Godhead even when it is openly shown. In the _shánta_ and _dásya_ emotions this consciousness of His Godhead is a little kindled, but in the _batsalya_, _sakhya_ and _madhur_ it is shrunk up. When Krishna bowed at the feet of Vasudev and Devaki, they were frightened by the sense of his Godhead. Witness the _Bhágabat_, X. xliv. 35. "Arjun was awe-struck at beholding the vision of Krishna as God, and begged his pardon for having treated him familiarly under the notion of a friend. Vide the _Gitá_, xi. 41. When Krishna jested with Rukmini, she became mortally afraid lest he should quit her. _Vide_ the _Bhágabat_, X. Ix. 23.
