prema-santatibhir eveti kāśin nija-hārdaṁ vyājena pṛcchantīṁ prati śrī-vrajeśvaryā vākyam |
prema-santatibhiḥ eva itithe verse beginning 'prema-santatibhiḥ eva''प्रेम-सन्ततिभिः एव' — इस (श्लोक) से
kāñcit ... pṛcchantīṁ pratiis addressed to a certain woman who was asking kāñcit, fem. acc.; source prints the sandhi form 'kāśin'किसी (गोपी) के प्रति, जो पूछ रही थी
nija-hārdaṁ vyājena pṛcchantīmwho, under some pretext, was probing her (Vrajeśvarī's) heart-felt feelingअपने हृदय-भाव को बहाने से पूछती हुई
śrī-vrajeśvaryāḥ vākyamthese are the words of Śrī Vrajeśvarī, the queen of Vrajaश्री व्रजेश्वरी (यशोदा) का वचन
prema-santatibhiḥ eva iti — the verse 'prema-santatibhiḥ eva'; nija-hārdaṁ vyājena pṛcchantīṁ kāñcit prati — toward a certain woman who under a pretext was fishing out her inner feeling; śrī-vrajeśvaryāḥ vākyam — is the speech of Śrī Vrajeśvarī.
'प्रेम-सन्ततिभिः एव' इत्यादि — अपने हृदय-भाव को बहाने से पूछती हुई किसी गोपी के प्रति श्री व्रजेश्वरी का वचन है।
The verse 'prema-santatibhiḥ' is spoken by Śrī Vrajeśvarī, the queen of Vraja. She is answering a certain woman who, under some pretext, was angling to draw out what Vrajeśvarī truly felt in her heart [about Rādhā].
'प्रेम-सन्ततिभिः एव' — यह श्री व्रजेश्वरी (यशोदा) का वचन है, जो बहाने से अपने मन की बात पूछती हुई किसी गोपी के प्रति कहा गया।
nija-hārda, 'one's own heart-feeling': the reflexive most naturally points to Vrajeśvarī, whose real sentiment the visitor was trying to coax out indirectly. The source's 'kāśin' is the sandhi of kāñcit + nija ('a certain [woman]').

यहाँ आचार्य दूसरा पाठान्तर सामने रखते हैं — 'प्रेम' के स्थान पर 'स्नेह'; दोनों पाठ यथावत् रखे जाएँ।

vastutaḥ premṇaḥ santatayor aṁśāḥ snehādyās taiḥ sarvair apy upādāna-kāraṇair ity arthaḥ |
vastutaḥwhat the phrase really means, taken preciselyवस्तुतः
premṇaḥ santatayoḥ aṁśāḥ snehādyāḥthe expansions of prema are its own portions — sneha and the rest premṇaḥ, gen. 'of love'; source form santatayoḥ, sense 'the expansions'प्रेम की सन्ततियों (विस्तारों) के अंश — स्नेह आदि
taiḥ sarvaiḥ api upādāna-kāraṇaiḥby every one of them, serving as the material cause [she was fashioned] instrumental of material causeउन सब के द्वारा भी, जो उपादान-कारण (मूल सामग्री) हैं
iti arthaḥthat is the meaningयह अर्थ है
vastutaḥ — in truth; premṇaḥ santatayaḥ — the expansions of prema; aṁśāḥ snehādyāḥ — namely its portions, sneha and so on; taiḥ sarvaiḥ api upādāna-kāraṇaiḥ — by all of these as the material cause [she was made]; iti arthaḥ — such is the sense.
वस्तुतः प्रेम की सन्ततियों के अंश स्नेह आदि हैं; उन सब उपादान-कारणों के द्वारा (राधा रची गई) — यह अर्थ है।
Here is what 'the streams of prema' really means. The expansions of prema are its own grades — sneha and so forth. The Creator fashioned Rādhā out of every one of them, as the very stuff she is made from. That is the sense.
वस्तुतः 'प्रेम की सन्ततियाँ' का अभिप्राय है — प्रेम के अंश, अर्थात् स्नेह आदि; उन सब उपादान-कारणों (मूल सामग्री) के द्वारा। यही अर्थ है।
upādāna-kāraṇa is the Nyāya/Vedānta term for the material cause — the clay a pot is made of — as against the efficient cause (the potter). Here the grades of love are the clay; the Creator (vedhas) is the potter. 'snehādi' names the ascending grades of love: sneha, māna, praṇaya, rāga, anurāga, on up to bhāva/mahābhāva.

itā prāptā ||
itāthe word 'itā''इता'
prāptāmeans 'has reached, has attained' (fem.)= प्राप्त हुई
itā = prāptā — 'itā' means 'having attained.'
'इता' का अर्थ 'प्राप्त हुई' है।
'Itā' means simply 'has reached, has attained' — the feminine past participle from √i, 'to go.'
'इता' अर्थात् 'प्राप्त हुई'।
