Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

न ह्येकरसजं काव्यं किञ्चिदस्ति प्रयोगतः ।
भावो वापि रसो वापि प्रवृत्तिर्वृत्तिरेव च
na hyekarasajaṃ kāvyaṃ kiñcidasti prayogataḥ |
bhāvo vāpi raso vāpi pravṛttirvṛttireva ca

The line

There is no poem of a single rasa (रस), in performance. Or a state, or a rasa (रस), or a regional way, or a style.

नेपालीमा

अभिनयमा एउटै रसको काव्य हुँदैन। अथवा एउटा अवस्था, अथवा एउटा रस, अथवा क्षेत्रीय रीति, अथवा शैली।

Where it sits

The verse's own na (न). A performance is not one rasa (रस) alone. 7.119*6, inside the brackets, says the same and adds that in the conflict the color comes.

Split: na (न) hyekarasajaṃ (ह्येकरसजं) kāvyaṃ (काव्यं) kiñcidasti (किञ्चिदस्ति) prayogataḥ (प्रयोगतः) / bhāvo (भावो) vāpi (वापि) raso (रसो) vāpi (वापि) pravṛttirvṛttireva (प्रवृत्तिर्वृत्तिरेव) ca (च)

The quarters run 16, 16 syllables. A hyphen in the split is a compound joint, a teaching mark, and the voice joins it.
