Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

वागङ्गमुखरागेण सत्त्वेनाभिनयेन च ।
कवेरन्तर्गतं भावं भावयन्भाव उच्यते
vāgaṅgamukharāgeṇa sattvenābhinayena ca |
kaverantargataṃ bhāvaṃ bhāvayanbhāva ucyate

The line

By the color of the face in speech and body, by sattva (सत्त्व), and by acting, bringing into being the state that has gone inside the poet: it is called a bhāva (भाव).

नेपालीमा

वचन र शरीरमा अनुहारको रङ्गले, सत्त्वले र अभिनयले कविभित्र पसेको अवस्थालाई प्रकट गर्दा त्यसलाई भाव भनिन्छ।

Where it sits

The state begins in the poet. Acting carries it out. Bhāvayan bhāva ucyate (भावयन् भाव उच्यते) is the chapter's own etymology, continued.
