Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:
व्रजानुगेष्व् अनेकेषु रक्तक-प्रमुखेषु च ।
अस्मिन्न् अभ्युदिते भावः प्रायः स्यात् सख्य-लेश-भाक् ॥३.२.९१॥vrajānugeṣv anekeṣu raktaka-pramukheṣu ca |
asminn abhyudite bhāvaḥ prāyaḥ syāt sakhya-leśa-bhāk ||3.2.91||
English translation
“This sambhrama-prīti manifests as prema in the adhikṛtas and āsritas, and as sneha in the pāriṣadas. In Parīkṣit, Dāruka and Uddhava (pāriṣadas) it manifests as rāga. Rāga also manifests in the anugas. When rāga appears in many anugas in Vraja such as Raktaka, the dāsya-bhāva becomes mixed with sakhya.”
