Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

नयनवदनप्रियभाषालिङ्गनैश्च रोमाञ्चैः ।
ललितैश्चाङ्गविहारैः स्वेदाद्यैरभिनयस्तस्य
nayanavadanapriyabhāṣāliṅganaiśca romāñcaiḥ |
lalitaiścāṅgavihāraiḥ svedādyairabhinayastasya

The line

By brightness of eye and face, by loving speech, by embraces, by the standing of the body-hair, by graceful movements of the body, and by sweat and the rest: its acting.

नेपालीमा

आँखा र अनुहारको चमक, प्रेमपूर्ण वचन, अङ्कमाल, शरीरका रौँ ठडिनु, शरीरको मनोहर चाल, पसिना र अरूबाट यसको अभिनय हुन्छ।

Where it sits

The sāttvika (सात्त्विक) signs return: horripilation and sweat, inside joy.
