অতএব কাম-প্রেমে বহুত অন্তর ।
কাম-অন্ধতমঃ, প্রেম-নির্মল ভাস্কর ॥ ১৭১ ॥
ataeva kama-preme bahuta antara
kama-andha-tamah, prema-nirmala bhaskara
ataeva-therefore; kama-preme-in lust and love; bahuta-much; antara-space between; kama-lust; andha-tamah-blind darkness; prema-love; nirmala-pure; bhaskara-sun.
Therefore lust and love are quite different. Lust is like dense darkness, but love is like the bright sun.
