Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

नानाद्रव्यैबहुविधैर्व्यञ्जनं भाव्यते यथा ।
एवं भावा भावयन्ति रसानभिनयैः सह
nānādravyaibahuvidhairvyañjanaṃ bhāvyate yathā |
evaṃ bhāvā bhāvayanti rasānabhinayaiḥ saha

The line

As a condiment is brought about by many substances of many kinds, so the states, together with the actings, bring the rasa (रस) states into being.

नेपालीमा

जसरी अनेक किसिमका अनेक पदार्थले मसला बन्छ, त्यसरी अवस्थाहरू अभिनयसँगै रस अवस्था उत्पन्न गर्छन्।

Where it sits

The kitchen likeness again, now as the work of the bhāva (भाव) states.
