In the supremely fortunate, bhāva arises in two ways: through absorption in sādhana, and through the grace of Kṛṣṇa and His devotees. Of these, the first is common; the second arises rarely. (6) The bhāva born of absorption in sādhana is indeed twofold here, declared according to the division into the vaidhī and rāgānugā paths. (7) Absorption in sādhana first produces ruci, then generates attachment to Hari, and finally brings forth rati. (8)
साधन में अभिनिवेश से, तथा कृष्ण और उनके भक्तों की कृपा से — अत्यन्त धन्य जनों में भाव दो प्रकार से उत्पन्न होता है; इनमें पहला प्रायः होता है, दूसरे का उदय विरल है (6)। साधन के अभिनिवेश से उत्पन्न होने वाला भाव यहाँ वैधी और रागानुगा मार्ग के भेद से निश्चय ही दो प्रकार का कहा गया है (7)। साधन का अभिनिवेश तो रुचि उत्पन्न करता हुआ, हरि में आसक्ति उपजाकर रति को जन्म देता है (8)

sādhana-abhiniveśena — because one throws oneself into the practice with full absorption; tathā — and likewise; kṛṣṇa-tad-bhaktayoḥ — of Kṛṣṇa and of his devotees [by their grace, prasādena in L2]
sādhana-abhiniveśena — साधन में तल्लीनता के द्वारा (कारण); kṛṣṇa-tad-bhaktayoḥ — कृष्ण और उनके भक्तों की (आगे कही जाने वाली कृपा से अन्वय); tathā — उसी प्रकार, दूसरे कारण को पहले से जोड़ते हुए
There are two ways bhāva comes. The first is by absorption in the practice — sādhana done with the whole heart. The second, said next, is by the grace of Kṛṣṇa and of his devotees. This line names the two causes; the sentence finishes in the next line.
साधन में पूरी तरह लीन हो जाने से, तथा उसी प्रकार कृष्ण और उनके भक्तों की (कृपा से) — ये दो कारण हैं।
sādhana here = the disciplined devotional practice; abhiniveśa = wholehearted absorption in it, not its ordinary sense of stubborn clinging.
यहाँ 'साधन' का अर्थ है नियमित भक्ति-साधना; और 'अभिनिवेश' का अर्थ है उसमें पूरे हृदय से लीन हो जाना — न कि इसका सामान्य अर्थ 'हठ' या 'दुराग्रह'।

prasādena — by the grace [of Kṛṣṇa and his devotees]; ati-dhanyānām — in the supremely fortunate; bhāvaḥ — bhāva; dvedhā — in two ways; abhijāyate — arises
prasādena — कृपा के द्वारा; ati-dhanyānām — अत्यन्त धन्य पुरुषों में; bhāvaḥ — भाव (कर्ता); dvedhā — दो प्रकार से; abhijāyate — उत्पन्न होता है
By that grace, in people who are supremely fortunate, bhāva is born. And it is born in two ways: from the two causes just named — absorption in practice, and grace. "Supremely fortunate" points to those who have first won the company of great devotees.
(इन कारणों से) अत्यन्त धन्य पुरुषों में भाव दो प्रकार से उत्पन्न होता है।
bhāva here = the technical first sprout of divine love (the stage just before prema), not "mood" or "feeling" in general.
यहाँ 'भाव' का अर्थ है दिव्य प्रेम का प्रथम अंकुर (प्रेम से ठीक पहले की अवस्था), न कि साधारण 'मनोभाव' या 'भावना'।

tatra — of these two; ādyaḥ tu — the first, for its part; prāyikaḥ — is the common one; dvitīyaḥ — the second; virala-udayaḥ — rarely arises
ādyaḥ — पहला; tu — परन्तु; prāyikaḥ — प्रायः होने वाला; tatra — उन दोनों में; dvitīyaḥ — दूसरा; virala-udayaḥ — जिसका उदय विरल है
Of these two, the first is the ordinary route: bhāva that comes from absorption in practice. That is how it usually happens. The second — bhāva that comes purely by grace — dawns only rarely. Viśvanātha names them: the first is sādhana-absorption, the second is the mercy of the Lord and his devotees.
इन दोनों में पहला भाव प्रायः (बहुधा) होता है, परन्तु दूसरे का उदय विरल है।

vaidhī-rāgānugā-mārga-bhedena parikīrtitaḥ |
vaidhī-rāgānugā-mārga-bhedenaby the split into two paths — the rule-governed (vaidhī) path and the path that follows spontaneous love (rāgānugā) instrumental of means: divided by this differenceवैधी और रागानुगा — इन दो मार्गों के भेद से
parikīrtitaḥis declared, is taught to be past participle; predicate of the first bhāvaकहा गया है, वर्णित है
[ādyaḥ bhāvaḥ] — [the first bhāva]; vaidhī-rāgānugā-mārga-bhedena — by the split into the vaidhī and rāgānugā paths; parikīrtitaḥ — is declared [to be twofold]
vaidhī-rāgānugā-mārga-bhedena — वैधी और रागानुगा मार्गों के भेद से; parikīrtitaḥ — कहा गया है
That first bhāva — the one from absorption in practice — is itself declared to be of two kinds. The split follows the two paths of practice: vaidhī, which runs on rule and command, and rāgānugā, which follows spontaneous love. So the common bhāva sub-divides according to which path produced it.
पहला भाव वैधी और रागानुगा — इन दो मार्गों के भेद से (दो प्रकार का) कहा गया है।
vaidhī = practice driven by scriptural rule (vidhi); rāgānugā = practice that follows (anugā) the spontaneous passion (rāga) of Vraja's devotees. Two roads, one goal.
'वैधी' अर्थात् शास्त्र के विधि-विधान से चलने वाली साधना; 'रागानुगा' अर्थात् व्रज के भक्तों के स्वाभाविक राग का अनुसरण करने वाली साधना। दो मार्ग, पर लक्ष्य एक।

dvividhaḥ — दो प्रकार का; khalu — निश्चय ही; bhāvaḥ — भाव; atra — यहाँ; sādhana-abhiniveśa-jaḥ — साधन में तल्लीनता से उत्पन्न
So, here, the bhāva that is born from absorption in practice is indeed of two kinds. Viśvanātha spells out the anvaya: absorption in practice is itself twofold, split by the vaidhī and rāgānugā paths; the bhāva born from that twofold absorption is therefore twofold too — and that is the bhāva declared here.
यहाँ साधन में तल्लीनता से उत्पन्न होने वाला भाव निश्चय ही दो प्रकार का है।

niṣpādayanby producing, bringing about present participle: as it produces…उत्पन्न करती हुई
rucimruci — a real taste, a liking for devotion accusative objectरुचि को
sādhana-abhiniveśaḥ tu — now absorption in the practice, for its part; tatra — in that devotee; rucim niṣpādayan — producing a taste (ruci) [for devotion]
sādhana-abhiniveśaḥ — साधन में तल्लीनता (कर्ता); tu — अब, प्रसंग बदलते हुए; tatra — उस भक्त में; niṣpādayan — उत्पन्न करती हुई; rucim — रुचि को
Now the verse shows how absorption in practice actually does its work. First, in the devotee, it produces ruci — a genuine taste, a real liking for devotional practice. This is the first link in a chain; the participle "producing" waits for the main verb in the next line.
साधन में तल्लीनता उस भक्त में पहले रुचि को उत्पन्न करती है,
ruci = the awakened relish for devotional acts, the stage after steadiness (niṣṭhā) and before deep attachment (āsakti).
'रुचि' अर्थात् भक्ति के कार्यों में जागी हुई रुचि — निष्ठा के पश्चात् और आसक्ति से पहले की अवस्था।
L7conclusion
harāv āsaktim utpādya ratiṁ saṁjanayaty asau ||
haraufor Hari (Kṛṣṇa) locative: attachment directed to Hariहरि में (जिसकी ओर आसक्ति हो)
āsaktimāsakti — deep attachment, a clinging of the heart accusative object of utpādyaआसक्ति को
utpādyahaving then generated gerund: after it produces…उत्पन्न करके
ratimrati — loving attraction (the same as bhāva) accusative object of saṁjanayatiरति को
saṁjanayatiat last brings forth, fully generates main verbभली-भाँति उत्पन्न कर देती है
asauthis [absorption in practice] nominative; picks up sādhana-abhiniveśa from L6वह (साधन-तल्लीनता)
asau [sādhana-abhiniveśaḥ] — this absorption in practice; ruciṁ niṣpādayan — producing ruci; harau āsaktim utpādya — then generating attachment to Hari; ratim saṁjanayati — finally brings forth rati (= bhāva)
harau — हरि में; āsaktim — आसक्ति को; utpādya — उत्पन्न करके; ratim — रति को; saṁjanayati — भली-भाँति उत्पन्न कर देती है; asau — वह (साधन-तल्लीनता)
Then, having generated āsakti — deep attachment to Hari — this same absorption in practice at last brings forth rati, which is bhāva itself. So the whole ladder is: absorption in practice → ruci (taste) → āsakti (attachment to Hari) → rati / bhāva. This answers the doubt Viśvanātha raises — practice does not jump straight to bhāva; it climbs these rungs and only then produces it.
फिर हरि में आसक्ति उत्पन्न करके वह (तल्लीनता) रति (भाव) को भली-भाँति उत्पन्न कर देती है।
rati here is a synonym for bhāva, the first sprout of prema; the verse closes the chain by naming the final rung the practice reaches.
यहाँ 'रति' 'भाव' का ही पर्याय है — प्रेम का प्रथम अंकुर; साधना जिस अन्तिम सोपान तक पहुँचती है, श्लोक उसी का नाम लेकर इस शृंखला को पूरा करता है।
