Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa
स्त्रीनीचप्रकृतावेष भूयिष्ठं दृश्यते रसः ।
षड्भेदाश्चास्य विज्ञेयास्तांश्च वक्ष्याम्यहं पुनः strīnīcaprakṛtāveṣa bhūyiṣṭhaṃ dṛśyate rasaḥ |
ṣaḍbhedāścāsya vijñeyāstāṃśca vakṣyāmyahaṃ punaḥ
The line
This rasa (रस) is seen mostly in women and in persons of low nature. Its divisions are to be known as six, and I shall tell them again.
नेपालीमा
यो रस प्रायः स्त्री र नीच प्रकृतिका व्यक्तिमा देखिन्छ। यसका विभाग छ वटा जान्नुपर्छ, र म तिनीहरूलाई फेरि भन्नेछु।
Where it sits
The verse says where it is mostly seen. The six degrees follow. The heroic will be said of the high nature. The assignments stay as the verses give them.
