Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

तत्र स्मितहसिते ज्येष्ठानां मध्यानां विहसितोपहसिते च ।
अधमानामपहसितं ह्यतिहसितं चापि विज्ञेयम्
tatra smitahasite jyeṣṭhānāṃ madhyānāṃ vihasitopahasite ca |
adhamānāmapahasitaṃ hyatihasitaṃ cāpi vijñeyam

The line

Among them, smile and laugh belong to the elder. Gentle laugh and mockery belong to the middle. Of the low, the loud laugh and the violent laugh are to be known.

नेपालीमा

तिनीहरूमध्ये मुस्कान र हाँसो ज्येष्ठका हुन्। मन्द हाँसो र उपहास मध्यका हुन्, र नीचका चर्को हाँसो तथा उग्र हाँसो जानिन्छन्।

Where it sits

Jyeṣṭha (ज्येष्ठ) is the high. Madhyama (मध्यम) is the middle. Adhama (अधम) is the low. The same three natures return for other states in chapter 7.
