Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa
न ह्येकरसजं काव्यं नैकभावैकवृत्तिकम् ।
विमर्दे रागमायाति प्रयुक्तं हि प्रयत्नतः na hyekarasajaṃ kāvyaṃ naikabhāvaikavṛttikam |
vimarde rāgamāyāti prayuktaṃ hi prayatnataḥ
The line
No poem is born of a single rasa (रस), nor of one state and one style. Joined with effort, it reaches its color in the conflict.
नेपालीमा
एउटै रसबाट काव्य जन्मँदैन, न त एउटै अवस्था र एउटै शैलीबाट। प्रयाससँग जोडिएर त्यो द्वन्द्वमा आफ्नो रङ्गमा पुग्छ।
Where it sits
Bracketed. Vimarḍa (विमर्ड) is the conflict of the plot. Rāga (राग) here is color, the charge the performance takes on. In the music rooms rāga (राग) is the melodic mode. The word is the same. This verse is speaking of the color a poem reaches when its states contend.
Split: na (न) hyekarasajaṃ (ह्येकरसजं) kāvyaṃ (काव्यं) naikabhāvaikavṛttikam (नैकभावैकवृत्तिकम्) / vimarde (विमर्दे) rāgamāyāti (रागमायाति) prayuktaṃ (प्रयुक्तं) hi (हि) prayatnataḥ (प्रयत्नतः)
