From these two types of rāgātmika-bhakti (siddha-bhakti), two types of rāgānuga-bhakti (sādhana-bhakti), called kāmānuga and sambandhānuga-bhakti, are derived.

Spontaneous love of Kṛṣṇa as exhibited by the Vṛṣṇis and the denizens of Vṛndāvana is eternally existing in them. In the stage of devotional service where regulative principles are followed, there is no necessity of discussing this love, for it must develop of itself at a more advanced stage.
