2.251.p2

atra yadyapi sambhogāt prāg-ajñātasyādhara-rasasya rasaṃ prati vibhāvatā na saṅgacchate, tathāpi prasiddehḥ sambhāvitasya rasasyaiva vibhāvatvaṃ bimba-phalādharoṣṭha iti padena vyajyate | athavā samāsvādita-dākṣāyaṇī-bimbādharasya parameśvarasya tad-rasenaiva jananāntara-saṅgatāyām api tasyāṃ ratiḥ |

Here, although before sexual enjoyment the taste of the lower lip is unknown and so cannot properly serve as a determinant for the aesthetic sentiment, nonetheless, the determinant status of that very taste imagined through fame is suggested by the phrase "whose lower lip was like a bimba fruit." Or rather, the Supreme Lord had tasted the bimba-like lip of Dākṣāyaṇī; through that very taste, his love arises for her even though she has met him in another birth.
