The step notes are editorial study commentary, not quotations from the scripture.
Concept links, journeys and bridges are an editorial study map. Only the verses — in Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation — are the text itself. Prema, bhāva, mahābhāva and vipralambha are devotional terms, not psychological labels.
