Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

अनभिमतदर्शनेन च गन्धरसस्पर्शशब्ददोषैश्च ।
उद्वेजनैश्च बहुभिर्बीभत्सरसः समुद्भवति
anabhimatadarśanena ca gandharasasparśaśabdadoṣaiśca |
udvejanaiśca bahubhirbībhatsarasaḥ samudbhavati

The line

By seeing what is not wanted, and by faults of smell, taste, touch, and sound, and by many things that disturb, the disgusting rasa (रस) arises.

नेपालीमा

अनिच्छित कुरा देख्दा, गन्ध, स्वाद, स्पर्श र शब्दका दोषले, र अनेक विचलित पार्ने कुराबाट बीभत्स रस उठ्छ।

Where it sits

The prose says it has disgust as its stable state, and arises from what is not pleasant to the heart, not dear, not to be told, and not wanted, in hearing, seeing, and telling. The verse adds smell, taste, and touch. Taste here is the tongue's rasa (रस), the same word as the aesthetic rasa (रस), in its kitchen sense.
