Some say that madhuroparasa arises where the male lover does not distinguish between many types of women lovers and treats them all equally.

According to some expert learned scholars, the feelings between lover and beloved create perverted reflections of mellows in many ways.

Commentary

Those knowledgeable of rasa (kecit) say that madhuroparasa arises where the male lover treats all types of women with differing types of prema (nāyikāsu anekāsu) in the same way.
