Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

व्यञ्जनौषधिसंयोगो यथान्नं स्वादुतां नयेत् ।
एवं भावा रसाश्चैव भावयन्ति परस्परम्
vyañjanauṣadhisaṃyogo yathānnaṃ svādutāṃ nayet |
evaṃ bhāvā rasāścaiva bhāvayanti parasparam

The line

As a joining of condiment and herb leads food to sweetness, so the states and the rasa (रस) states bring each other into being.

नेपालीमा

जसरी मसला र जडीबुटीको जोडले खानालाई मिठासमा लैजान्छ, त्यसरी अवस्था र रस अवस्था एकअर्कालाई उत्पन्न गर्छन्।
