Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

इष्टवधदर्शनाद्वा विप्रियवचनस्य संश्रवाद्वापि ।
एभिर्भावविशेषैः करुणो नाम संभवति
iṣṭavadhadarśanādvā vipriyavacanasya saṃśravādvāpi |
ebhirbhāvaviśeṣaiḥ karuṇo nāma saṃbhavati

The line

From seeing the killing of a loved person, or from hearing a word that is unwelcome, by these particular states the one called compassionate comes to be.

नेपालीमा

प्रिय व्यक्तिको हत्या देखेर वा मन नपर्ने वचन सुनेर यी विशेष अवस्थाबाट करुण भनिने रस बन्छ।

Where it sits

The prose says it is born of the stable state śoka (शोक), from a curse, affliction, loss of a loved person, ruin of fortune, death, bondage, flight, injury, and calamity. Its acting is tears, lament, a dried face, loss of color, a limp body, sighing, and loss of memory. This verse gives two occasions.
