Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

नष्टस्मृतिर्हतगतिश्छर्दितहिक्काकफैः सुबीभत्सः ।
गुरुसज्जमानजिह्वो निष्ठीवति चाधमप्रकृतिः
naṣṭasmṛtirhatagatiścharditahikkākaphaiḥ subībhatsaḥ |
gurusajjamānajihvo niṣṭhīvati cādhamaprakṛtiḥ

The line

Memory lost, the gait struck down, disgusting with vomit, hiccup, and phlegm, the tongue stumbling heavily, and he spits: of low nature.

नेपालीमा

स्मृति हराएको, चाल ढलेको, वान्ता, हिचकी र कफले घिनलाग्दो, जिब्रो भारी गरी अल्झिने र थुक्ने नीच प्रकृतिको हो।

Where it sits

The heavy degree. The verse calls it subībhatsa (सुबीभत्स), deeply disgusting. It can feed the disgusting rasa (रस) of 6.73.
