nanu nirhetukasya mānasya bhāva-kauṭilya-rūpa-mānasya ca ko bheda iti ced ucyate | nirhetuka-māne tu kopa-vyājena cumbanādi-vilambanāt prema-parīkṣaṇaṃ phalam | bhāva-kauṭilya-māne tu cumbanādy-avilambaḥ phalam iti spaṣṭa eva tayor bhedaḥ |

Now, if it is asked: what is the difference between causeless pique and pique in the form of crookedness of emotional disposition? It is answered: in causeless pique, however, the result is the testing of love by delaying kissing and the like under the pretext of anger. In pique that is crookedness of emotional disposition, on the other hand, the result is the absence of delay in kissing and the like. Thus the distinction between the two is quite clear.
