Commentary
That bhakti whose essence (ātmikā) is concentrated contemplation (manana) of a relationship such as parent, [Note: The definition of rāgānuga-bhakti has already specified that the ideal person whom one follows is an inhabitant of Vraja, and not Dvārakā. Thus identifying oneself as a father in Dvārakā is excluded from sambandhānuga-bhakti--which is a branch of rāgānuga-bhakti.] and furthermore, with identification of oneself in that role, is called sambandhānuga-bhakti.
