नेपालीमा
त्यसरी ज्ञानीले मनले अवस्था र अभिनयसँग बाँधिएका स्थिर अवस्था चाख्छन्। त्यसैले नाटकका रस अवस्था सम्झिन्छन्।
Where it sits
The tasting is with the mind. The thing tasted is the stable state, once acting has made it known. This is the chapter's account of why a performed feeling moves the one who watches.
