Translation

From these two types of rāgātmika-bhakti (siddha-bhakti), two types of rāgānuga-bhakti (sādhana-bhakti), called kāmānuga and sambandhānuga-bhakti, are derived.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Having described the qualities of rāgātmika-bhakti as a secondary topic, the qualities of rāgānuga-sādhana, the topic of this section, are now described.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

Spontaneous love of Kṛṣṇa as exhibited by the Vṛṣṇis and the denizens of Vṛndāvana is eternally existing in them. In the stage of devotional service where regulative principles are followed, there is no necessity of discussing this love, for it must develop of itself at a more advanced stage.
