TRANSLATION

““‘When the seed of ecstatic emotion for Krsna fructifies, the following nine
symptoms manifest in one’s behavior: forgiveness, concern that time should
not be wasted, detachment, absence of false prestige, hope, eagerness, a taste
for chanting the holy name of the Lord, attachment to descriptions of the tran-
scendental qualities of the Lord, and affection for those places where the Lord
resides —that is, a temple or a holy place like Vrndavana. These are all called
anubhava, subordinate signs of ecstatic emotion. They are visible in a person
in whose heart the seed of love of God has begun to fructify.’

PURPORT
These two verses are found in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.3.25-26).
