Vipralambha is described in the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (Vipralambha-prakaraṇa 3-4):

<div class="quote_verse">
:yūnor ayuktayor bhāvo yuktayor vātha yo mithaḥ</dd><dd>abhīṣṭāliṅganādīnām anavāptau prakṛṣyate</dd><dd>sa vipralambho vijñeyaḥ sambhogonnati-kārakaḥ</dd><dd>na vinā vipralambhena sambhogaḥ puṣṭim aśnute
</div>

“When the lover and the beloved meet, they are called yukta (connected). Previous to their meeting, they are called ayukta (not connected). Whether connected or not connected, the ecstatic emotion arising due to not being able to embrace and kiss each other as desired is called vipralambha. This vipralambha helps nourish emotions at the time of meeting.” Similarly, sambhoga is described in the following verse quoted from the Vedic literature by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura in his Anubhāṣya:

<div class="quote_verse">
:darśanāliṅganādīnām ānukūlyān niṣevayā</dd><dd>yūnor ullāsam ārohan bhāvaḥ sambhoga īryate
</div>

“Meeting each other and embracing each other are aimed at bringing about the happiness of the lover and the beloved. When this stage becomes increasingly jubilant, the resultant ecstatic emotion is called sambhoga.” When awakened, sambhoga is divided into four categories:

(1) pūrva-rāga-anantara—after pūrva-rāga (attachment prior to meeting), sambhoga is called brief (saṅkṣipta);(2) māna-anantara—after māna (anger based on love), sambhoga is called encroached (saṅkīrṇa);(3) kiñcid-dūra-pravāsa-anantara—after being a little distance away for some time, sambhoga is called accomplished (sampanna);(4) sudūra-pravāsa-anantara—after being far away, sambhoga is called perfection (samṛddhimān).

The meetings of the lovers that take place in dreams also have these four divisions.
