Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

अस्थानहसितं यत्तु साश्रुनेत्रं तथैव च ।
उत्कम्पितांसकशिरस्तच्चापहसिअतं भवेत्
asthānahasitaṃ yattu sāśrunetraṃ tathaiva ca |
utkampitāṃsakaśirastaccāpahasiataṃ bhavet

The line

A laugh out of place, with tears in the eyes, the shoulders and the head trembling: that is the loud laugh.

नेपालीमा

बेठिक ठाउँको हाँसो, आँखामा आँसु, काँध र शिर काम्ने, त्यो चर्को हाँसो हो।

Where it sits

The line reads apahasiataṃ (अपहसिअतं). 6.52 names this degree apahasita (अपहसित). The sitting keeps the letters of this line. It is the first laugh of the low nature: untimely, tearful, the head and shoulders shaking.

Split: asthānahasitaṃ (अस्थानहसितं) yattu (यत्तु) sāśrunetraṃ (साश्रुनेत्रं) tathaiva (तथैव) ca (च) / utkampitāṃsakaśirastaccāpahasiataṃ (उत्कम्पितांसकशिरस्तच्चापहसिअतं) bhavet (भवेत्)
