Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

सुखदुःखमतिक्रान्तं तथा मतिविभावितं यथावृत्तम् ।
चिरविस्मृतं स्मरति यः स्मृतिमानिति वेदितव्योऽसौ
sukhaduḥkhamatikrāntaṃ tathā mativibhāvitaṃ yathāvṛttam |
ciravismṛtaṃ smarati yaḥ smṛtimāniti veditavyo 'sau

The line

The one who remembers what has passed of pleasure and pain, and what has been determined by the mind as it happened, what was long forgotten: he is to be known as possessed of memory.

नेपालीमा

सुख र दुःखको बितेको, मनले घटेझैँ निश्चय गरेको र लामो समयदेखि बिर्सिएको कुरा सम्झनेलाई स्मृति भएको जान्नुपर्छ।

Where it sits

Smṛti (स्मृति). The prose says it is the remembering of states made by pleasure and pain, and that it arises from health, from little sleep at night, from seeing something similar, from an example, from worry, and from practice.
