7.24
Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa
सत्त्ववित्रासनोद्भूतं भयमुत्पद्यते नृणाम् ।
स्रस्ताङ्गाक्षिनिमेषैस्तदभिनेयं तु नर्तकैः sattvavitrāsanodbhūtaṃ bhayamutpadyate nṛṇām |
srastāṅgākṣinimeṣaistadabhineyaṃ tu nartakaiḥ
The line
Fear arises in men born of a shock to sattva (सत्त्व). With limbs gone slack and with the closing of the eyes, the actors should act it.
नेपालीमा
सत्त्वप्रति आघातबाट जन्मेको भय मानिसमा उत्पन्न हुन्छ। अङ्ग शिथिल पारेर र आँखा बन्द गरेर अभिनेताले यसको अभिनय गर्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
A fear that sattva (सत्त्व) itself produces, beside the feigned fear of chapter 6.
