The line
Of the body, and of speech, and of costume, and of sattva (सत्त्व): these four actings are to be known as resting on drama.
नेपालीमा
शरीरको, वाणीको, वेशको र सत्त्वको, यी चार अभिनय नाटकमा अडिएका जानिन्छन्।
Where it sits
The four abhinaya (अभिनय). Their own chapter is the eighth, which is not this book. The sāttvika (सात्त्विक) acting is the same family as 6.22.
