Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

दानवीरं धर्मवीरं युद्धवीरं तथैव च ।
रसं वीरमपि प्राह ब्रह्मा त्रिविधमेव हि
dānavīraṃ dharmavīraṃ yuddhavīraṃ tathaiva ca |
rasaṃ vīramapi prāha brahmā trividhameva hi

The line

The heroic of giving, the heroic of dharma, and the heroic of battle: Brahmā (ब्रह्मा) has said the heroic rasa (रस) too as only threefold.

नेपालीमा

दानको वीर, धर्मको वीर र युद्धको वीर गरी ब्रह्माले वीर रसलाई पनि केवल तीन प्रकारको भनेका छन्।
