Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

भावाश्चैव कथं प्रोक्ताः किं वा ते भावयन्त्यपि ।
संग्रहं कारिकां चैव निरुक्तं चैव तत्वतः
bhāvāścaiva kathaṃ proktāḥ kiṃ vā te bhāvayantyapi |
saṃgrahaṃ kārikāṃ caiva niruktaṃ caiva tatvataḥ

The line

And how are the bhāva (भाव) states declared? Do they bring something into being? And the summary, the kārikā (कारिका), and the nirukta (निरुक्त), in truth.

नेपालीमा

अनि भाव अवस्था कसरी बताइन्छन्? के तिनीहरूले केही उत्पन्न गर्छन्? र सार, कारिका तथा निरुक्त साँच्चै के हुन्?

Where it sits

The rest of the five. Bhāvayanti (भावयन्ति) is the verb behind bhāva (भाव): they bring a state into being. Chapter 7 takes that up at 7.1.

Split: bhāvāścaiva (भावाश्चैव) kathaṃ (कथं) proktāḥ (प्रोक्ताः) kiṃ (किं) vā (वा) te (ते) bhāvayantyapi (भावयन्त्यपि) / saṃgrahaṃ (संग्रहं) kārikāṃ (कारिकां) caiva (चैव) niruktaṃ (निरुक्तं) caiva (चैव) tatvataḥ (तत्वतः)
