Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

भावा विकारा रत्याद्याः शान्तस्तु प्रकृतिर्मतः ।
विकारः प्रकृतैर्जातः पुनस्तत्रैव लीयते ।
स्वं स्वं निमित्तमासाद्य शान्ताद्भावः प्रवर्तते
bhāvā vikārā ratyādyāḥ śāntastu prakṛtirmataḥ |
vikāraḥ prakṛtairjātaḥ punastatraiva līyate |
svaṃ svaṃ nimittamāsādya śāntādbhāvaḥ pravartate

The line

The states beginning with love are alterations. Peace is held to be the ground. An alteration born from the things of the ground dissolves back into that same place. Reaching its own occasion, a state proceeds from peace.

नेपालीमा

प्रेमदेखि सुरु हुने अवस्था विकार हुन् र शान्ति आधार मानिन्छ। आधारका कुराबाट जन्मेको विकार त्यही ठाउँमा विलीन हुन्छ, र आफ्नो अवसर पाएपछि अवस्था शान्तिबाट अघि बढ्छ।

Where it sits

A long line, still bracketed. Rati (रति) and the other stable states are called changes. Śānta (शान्त) is called the prakṛti (प्रकृति), the ground they come from and return to. This is the bracketed passage's own claim. 6.38 had called the rasa (रस) states the root of the bhāva (भाव) states. The two claims can be read beside each other.

Split: bhāvā (भावा) vikārā (विकारा) ratyādyāḥ (रत्याद्याः) śāntastu (शान्तस्तु) prakṛtirmataḥ (प्रकृतिर्मतः) / vikāraḥ (विकारः) prakṛtairjātaḥ (प्रकृतैर्जातः) punastatraiva (पुनस्तत्रैव) līyate (लीयते) / svaṃ (स्वं) svaṃ (स्वं) nimittamāsādya (निमित्तमासाद्य) śāntādbhāvaḥ (शान्ताद्भावः) pravartate (प्रवर्तते)

Say it back

Cover the English and say the line in one sentence. The states beginning with love are alterations. Peace is held to be the ground. An alteration born from the things of the ground dissolves back into that same place. Reaching its own occasion, a state proceeds from peace.
