Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

उत्फुल्लानननेत्रं तु गण्डैर्विकसितैरथ ।
किञ्चिल्लक्षितदन्तं च हसितं तद्विधीयते
utphullānananetraṃ tu gaṇḍairvikasitairatha |
kiñcillakṣitadantaṃ ca hasitaṃ tadvidhīyate

The line

The face and the eyes in bloom, the cheeks opened, and the teeth slightly noticed: that is laid down as the laugh.

नेपालीमा

मुख र आँखा फुलेका, गाला खोलिएका र दाँत अलि देखिएका, त्यो हाँसो मानिन्छ।

Where it sits

The second, still of the high. A little of the teeth shows.
