PURPORT
Pūrva-rāga is described in Uiivala-nīlamani::
ratir yā saṅgamāt pūrvaṁ darśana-śravaṇādi-jā tayor unmīlati prājñaiḥ pūrva-rāgaḥ sa ucvate
When attachment produced in both the lover and beloved before their meeting by seeing, hearing and so on becomes very palatable by the mixture of four ingredients, such as  vibhāva  and  anubhāva , this is called  pūrva-rāga .
The word  māna  is also described:-
dampatyor bhāva ekatra sator apy anuraktayoḥ svābhīṣṭāśleṣa-vikṣādi-nirodhī māna ucyate
Māna  is a word used to indicate the mood of the lover and the beloved experienced whether they are in one place or in different places. This mood obstructs their looking at one another and embracing one another, despite the fact that they are attached to one another.
Pravāsa  is also explained as follows::
pūrva-saṅga-tayor yūnor bhaved deśāntarādibhiḥ vyavadhānaṁ tu yat prājñaiḥ sa pravāsa itīryate
Pravāsa  is a word used to indicate the separation of lovers who were previously intimately associated. This separation is due to their being in different places.
Similarly,  prema-vaicittya  is explained::
priyasya sannikarșe ‘pi premotkarșa-svabhāvataḥ yā viśeșa-dhiyārtis tat prema-vaicittyam ucyate
Prema-vaicittya  is a word used to indicate an abundance of love that brings about grief from fear of separation, although the lover is present.
