### CC Adi 4.171

> অতএব কাম-প্রেমে বহুত অন্তর ।\
> কাম — অন্ধতমঃ, প্রেম — নির্মল ভাস্কর ॥১৭১॥

> ataeva kāma-preme bahuta antara\
> kāma—andha-tamaḥ, prema—nirmala bhāskara

*ataeva*—therefore; *kāma-preme*—in lust and love; *bahuta*—much; *antara*—space between; *kāma*—lust; *andha-tamaḥ*—blind darkness; *prema*—love; *nirmala*—pure; *bhāskara*—sun.

**Therefore lust and love are quite different. Lust is like dense darkness, but love is like the bright sun.**
