tac-chavi-rūpatvam premāṅkuratvaṁ darśayati tathā hīti ||
tac-chavi-rūpatvamthat bhāva is the first gleam of prema — tat here is prema (from the previous verse), and chavi is its luster or gleam; this abstract '-tvam' is what the verse shows accusative, object of darśayati; tat = premaउस (प्रेम) की छवि-स्वरूपता — भाव का प्रेम की झलक-रूप होना
premāṅkuratvaṁand that bhāva is the sprout of prema — aṅkura is the young shoot; a second thing the same verse shows accusative, second object of darśayati; ca understood(और) प्रेम का अंकुर होना

tathā hi itiwith the words 'tathā hi' (thus, as follows) — the lemma he is glossing, which lead into the quoted tantra verse pratīka; iti marks the quoted phrase'तथा हि' इस पद से
darśayati — [the coming verse] shows; tac-chavi-rūpatvam — that bhāva is the first gleam of prema; premāṅkuratvaṁ — and that it is the sprout of prema; tathā hi iti — [this is done] by the words 'tathā hi', which introduce the tantra verse.
tac-chavi-rūpatvam — उस प्रेम की छवि-स्वरूपता; premāṅkuratvaṁ — (और) प्रेम की अंकुर-रूपता; darśayati — दिखाते हैं; tathā hi iti — 'तथा हि' इस पद से
The words 'tathā hi' (thus, as follows) bring in a verse from a tantra. By quoting it, he shows two things about bhāva. First, that bhāva is the first gleam of prema — tat here means prema, and chavi is its luster; this picks up the earlier line that called bhāva 'the first gleam of prema.' Second, that bhāva is the sprout of prema, its young shoot. So the coming verse proves that bhāva is prema in its very first form.
भाव का प्रेम की छवि-स्वरूप होना और प्रेम का अंकुर होना — यही ग्रन्थकार 'तथा हि' कहकर दिखाते हैं।
chavi: ordinarily 'beauty, splendor, sheen'; here narrowed to the first faint gleam of prema, echoing prathama-cchavi in the previous verse's commentary. aṅkura: literally a plant's sprout; used for bhāva as the earliest shoot from which full prema grows.
छवि — सामान्यतः 'सौन्दर्य, कान्ति, आभा'; यहाँ यह प्रेम की प्रथम क्षीण झलक तक सीमित है, जो पूर्व श्लोक की टीका के 'प्रथम-छवि' की प्रतिध्वनि है। अंकुर — शब्दशः पौधे का नवोद्भव; यहाँ भाव के लिए प्रयुक्त — वह प्रथम अंकुर जिससे पूर्ण प्रेम विकसित होता है।
