Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa
न शक्यमस्य नाट्यस्य गन्तुमन्तं कथञ्चन ।
कस्माद्बहुत्वाज्ज्ञानानां शिल्पानां वाप्यनन्ततः na śakyamasya nāṭyasya gantumantaṃ kathañcana |
kasmādbahutvājjñānānāṃ śilpānāṃ vāpyanantataḥ
The line
It is not possible to reach the end of this drama in any way. Why? From the abundance of the knowings, or from the endlessness of the crafts.
नेपालीमा
यो नाटकको अन्त्यसम्म कुनै पनि तरिकाले पुग्न सकिँदैन। किन? ज्ञानहरूको बाहुल्यबाट वा शिल्पहरूको अनन्तताबाट।
