II. Sneha which is affection sublimated from Preman and causing melting of the heart (*hṛdaya-drāvaṇa*) on sight, hearing or recollection. It may also be the best (*śreṣṭha*), the middling (*madhyama*) and the lowest (*kaniṣṭha*), according to its intensity. This Sneha is of two kinds: (*a*) Ghṛta-sneha, constant fondness, solidifying like Ghee but impotent in itself in producing the taste, or (*b*) Madhu-sneha, constant fondness like honey, strong and in itself potent in producing its sweetness.
