Part 5 - Grey Areas regarding the Parak墨y膩
Some times a 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 is seen bordering with a 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟补 as mentioned above by Bharata. The acts of fear, anxiety, apprehension, looking at omens etc., are that of a 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟补. A 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟补 is an example of Vipralamba 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补 while a 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 is that of Sambhoga 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补.

Here 辫奴谤惫腻蝉耻 means the five 苍腻测颈办腻蝉 mentioned earlier. i.e. 笔谤辞峁迟补辫谤颈测腻, 痴颈辫谤补濒补产诲丑腻, 碍丑补峁囜笉颈迟腻, 碍补濒补丑腻苍迟补谤颈迟腻, 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻 are indicative of Vipralambha 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补, and the atra, is 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 indicative of Sambhoga. "That is the difference."
The 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 is sure of his arrival as it is her turn of the night or she has a message from him. Thus she is anticipating and futuristic.[2]

碍腻惫测腻濒补峁卥腻谤补, 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补tilakam, 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补vil膩sin墨 mention the confirmed news of the lover鈥檚 arrival in their definition of the 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩腻 苍腻测颈办腻 indicating his sure arrival and their Sambhoga.
The twelfth 补峁ａ弓补辫补诲颈 of 骋墨迟补驳辞惫颈苍诲补 is a wonderful example of the 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 bordering the 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻. Her activities of imagining the clouds to be Hari and kissing them, rushing forward to meet him, dressing up and looking at her reflection etc., suggests that she is a 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻. The usage of the term 鈥�痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩腻鈥� in the seventh 肠补谤补峁嘺尘 confirms the type of 苍腻测颈办腻 while the words rodati, vilapati and patati exhibit the underlying viraha.
