The line
Many meanings are made known, resting on the actings of voice and body. Because of this, this is designated a vibhāva (विभाव).
नेपालीमा
वाणी र शरीरका अभिनयमा अडेका धेरै अर्थ प्रकट गरिन्छन्। यसैले यसलाई विभाव भनिन्छ।
Where it sits
The prose says vibhāva (विभाव), kāraṇa (कारण), nimitta (निमित्त), and hetu (हेतु) are synonyms: cause, occasion, reason. A vibhāva (विभाव) is that by which the actings of voice, body, and sattva (सत्त्व) are made known. The kitchen word and the theatre word share the root of making something known.
