Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

नानाभिनयसम्बद्धान्भावयन्ति रसनिमान् ।
यस्मात्तस्मादमी भावा विज्ञेया नाट्ययोक्तृभिः
nānābhinayasambaddhānbhāvayanti rasanimān |
yasmāttasmādamī bhāvā vijñeyā nāṭyayoktṛbhiḥ

The line

Because they bring these rasa (रस) states into being, bound up with many kinds of acting, therefore these are to be known as bhāva (भाव) states by the speakers of drama.

नेपालीमा

किनकि तिनीहरूले अनेक प्रकारको अभिनयसँग बाँधिएका यी रस अवस्था उत्पन्न गर्छन्, त्यसैले नाटक बोल्नेले यिनीहरूलाई भाव अवस्था जान्नुपर्छ।

Where it sits

The prose before the verse reports a disagreement. Some say rasa (रस) and bhāva (भाव) arise from each other. The prose says the arising of rasa (रस) is seen from the bhāva (भाव) states, and the arising of bhāva (भाव) is not seen from the rasa (रस) states. This verse gives the root: bhāva (भाव) is what brings the rasa (रस) into being. 6.36 and 6.38 speak again, and they do not all face the same way.
