Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

पुनर्निमित्तापाये च शान्त एवोपलीयते ।
एवं नवरसा दृष्टा नाट्यज्ञैर्लक्षणान्विअताः
punarnimittāpāye ca śānta evopalīyate |
evaṃ navarasā dṛṣṭā nāṭyajñairlakṣaṇānviatāḥ

The line

And when the occasion has passed, it dissolves into peace alone. Thus nine rasa (रस) states are seen by the knowers of drama, possessed of their marks.

नेपालीमा

र अवसर बितेपछि त्यो शान्तिमै विलीन हुन्छ। यसरी नाटक जान्नेहरूले लक्षणसहित नौ रस अवस्था देख्छन्।

Where it sits

The bracketed passage's count is nine. The line reads lakṣaṇānviatāḥ (लक्षणान्विअताः). 6.83, the next verse and outside the brackets, returns to eight.
