Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Sambhogaśṛṅgāra (सम्भोगशृङ्गार) or simply Sambhoga refers to “erotic sentiment in union” and represents one of the two types of Śṛṅgārarasa (“erotic sentiment”) according to Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century).—The erotic sentiment (śṛṅgāra) in union (sambhoga) is of different types like mutual gazing, touching, kissing etc. It has been illustrated by Cirañjīva from his own work entitled Mādhavacampū. Sambhogaśṛṅgāra is also known as Sambhogarasa.

Example of the erotic sentiment (śṛṅgāra) in union (sambhoga):

sarasaṃ daracālitāṅgulī vadanācchādanacālanena sā |
śayitā dayitā”nanaṃ mudā kṣaṇamunmīlitalocanekṣate ||

“When the fingers (of her beloved) are slightly in movement with joy, she is lying on the bed and covering and turning her face, looks at her beloved’s face merrily with her eyes opened for a moment”.

Notes: In this verse the substential excitants are the hero and the heroine. The ensuant is gazing and the variant is joy on the part of the heroine. So it is an example of the erotic sentiment of the union (sambhoga-śṛṅgāra) as in this verse the mutual gazing is present.
