Translation
The anubhāvas: Being completely involved in serving according one’s capacity, friendship with the Lord’s servants with absence of even a trace of envy on seeing the excellence of others’ service, and being fixed in their love, which are all considered śīta, [Note: Anubhāvas which are śīta are defined in 2.2.3.] are the special anubhāvas of the dāsas.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Tan-niṣṭhatā means to be fixed only in prīti (dāsya-bhāva).
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa, which is known as anubhāva, is symptomized by the following signs: one becomes engaged exclusively in the service of the Lord, being attentive to carry out the orders of the Lord faithfully; one becomes undisturbed and nonenvious in full transcendental loving service to the Lord; and one makes friendship with the devotees of the Lord who are situated in faithful service to Him. All of these symptoms are called anubhāva, ecstatic love.
