Svākāravad abhinnatvenāyam āsvādyate rasaḥ ||3|| I particularly like one written by Vishwanath Kaviraj in Sāhitya-darpaṇa: The rasa-sūtra is a famous passage in Bharata's Nāṭya-śāstra, tatra vibhāvānubhāva-vyabhicāri-saṁyogād rasa-niṣpattiḥ: "Rasa is effectuated when the vibhāva, anubhāva and vyabhicāris are combined." Out of this he then develops his theory, clarifying that the rasa is produced by combining all these ingredients with the sthāyi bhāva of the qualified audience member.Īfter Bharata, nearly everyone who wrote on rasa gave their own version of the rasa-sūtra. This love, which is an embodiment of the divine joy, is led to the state of being relished, and when combined with the direct experience of the vibhāvas like Krishna and the other ingredients, attains the very limits of mature bliss and wonder. Prauḍhānanda-camatkāra-kāṣṭhām āpadyate parām ||įor those whose faults have been entirely removed by the performance of devotional practices and whose minds are peaceful and effulgent, who are attached to hearing the Bhāgavata-purāṇa, who find happiness in the company of rasika devotees, for whom the joy of service to Govinda has become the raison-d’être of their existence, and who are always engaged in the most confidential process of developing love for Krishna, namely hearing and chanting about his qualities and pastimes, have a love ( rati) for Krishna which is effulgently manifest due to the conditioning of both the past and present lives.
