Sambhoga (Union)
(1)
darśana āśleṣānvita, ānukūlya-sevāśrita
ullāse ārūḍha yei bhāva
yuva-dvandva hṛdi-mājhe, rasākāre su-virāje
sambhogākhya tā’ra haya lābha
That mood which is accompanied by seeing and embracing, which rests upon favourable service, and which has ascended to great joy, residing beautifully in the hearts of the Youthful Couple in the form of rasa – that is known as sambhoga.
(2)
mukhya gauṇa dvi-prakāra, sambhogera su-vistāra
tad ubhaya cāriṭī prakāra
saṅkṣipta saṅkīrṇa jāna, sampanna samṛddhi māna
pūrva bhāvāvasthā anusāra
Sambhoga expands into two divisions, primary and secondary. Each of these has four varieties – saṅkṣipta, saṅkīrṇa, sampanna, and samṛddhimān, according to the preceding condition of feeling.
(3)
pūrva-rāgāntare yāṅhā, saṅkṣipta sambhoga tāṅhā
mānāntare saṅkīrṇa pramāṇe
kṣudra pravāsāvasāne, sampanna samṛddhi māne
su-dūra pravāsa avasāne
That which occurs after pūrva-rāga is called saṅkṣipta-sambhoga. After māna comes saṅkīrṇa-sambhoga. At the end of a short separation known as pravāsa there is sampanna-sambhoga, and at the end of a long and distant pravāsa there is samṛddhimān-sambhoga.

sampanna dvi-vidha bhāva, āgati o prādurbhāva
manohara sambhoga tāhāya
svapne e saba bhāva, yāhe haya āvirbhāva
tabe gauṇa sambhoga jānāya
Sampanna-sambhoga is of two kinds – āgati (arrival) and prādurbhāva (manifest appearance). In these are found charming forms of union. When these various moods become manifest in dreams, they are known as gauṇa-sambhoga, or secondary union.
