6.38
Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa
यथा बीजाद्भवेद्वृक्षो वृक्षात्पुष्पं फलं यथा ।
तथा मूलं रसाः सर्वे तेभ्यो भावा व्यवस्थिताः yathā bījādbhavedvṛkṣo vṛkṣātpuṣpaṃ phalaṃ yathā |
tathā mūlaṃ rasāḥ sarve tebhyo bhāvā vyavasthitāḥ
The line
As a tree comes from a seed, as flower and fruit come from the tree, so all the rasa (रस) states are the root, and the states are established from them.
नेपालीमा
जसरी बीउबाट रूख आउँछ र रूखबाट फूल तथा फल आउँछन्, त्यसरी सबै रस अवस्था मूल हुन् र तिनीहरूबाट अवस्था अडिन्छन्।
Where it sits
Here the rasa (रस) states are the root, and the bhāva (भाव) states stand out from them. 6.34 had the arising of rasa (रस) from bhāva (भाव). The chapter leaves both sentences standing.
