PURPORT
In  Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu , (3.2.84)  sneha  (affection) is described as follows:
sāndraś citta-dravaṁ kurvan premā ‘sneha’ itīryate kṣaṇikasyāpi neha syād viśleṣasya sahiṣṇutā
“That aspect of  prema  in which the melting of the heart for the lover is concentrated is called  sneha , or affection. The symptom of such affection is that the lover cannot for a moment remain without the association of the beloved.” A description of  māna  can be found in  Madhya-līlā  (Chapter Two, verse 66). Similarly, a description of  praṇaya  is also there. As far as  rāga  is concerned,  Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu  says (3.2.87) says:
snehaḥ sa rāgo yena syāt sukharin duḥkham api sphuṭam tat-sambandha-lave ‘py atra prītiḥ prāṇa-vyayair api
“That stage at which affection for the beloved converts unhappiness into happiness is called  rāga , or attachment. When one has such attachment for Kṛṣṇa, he can give up his own life to satisfy his beloved Kṛṣṇa.”  Anurāga ,  bhāva  and  mahābhāva  are described in the Sixth Chapter of  Madhya-lilā , verse 13. The purport to that verse explains  adhirūḍha-mahābhāva .
