Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

एवमष्टविकल्पोऽयमावेगः सम्भ्रमात्मकः ।
स्थेर्येणोत्तममध्यानां नीचानां चापसर्पणैः
evamaṣṭavikalpo 'yamāvegaḥ sambhramātmakaḥ |
stheryeṇottamamadhyānāṃ nīcānāṃ cāpasarpaṇaiḥ

The line

Thus this agitation is of eight divisions, its nature confusion. By steadiness, of the high and the middle. By running off, of the low.

नेपालीमा

यसरी यो आवेग आठ भागको हुन्छ र यसको स्वभाव भ्रम हो। उच्च र मध्यममा स्थिरताले, नीचमा भागेर यो हुन्छ।

Where it sits

Āvega (आवेग). The prose lists portents, wind, rain, an elephant run wild, hearing the dear and the undear, calamity, and injury. The verse gives eight without naming each, and again the three natures. 7.64 gives occasions.

Split: evamaṣṭavikalpo (एवमष्टविकल्पो) 'yamāvegaḥ (ऽयमावेगः) sambhramātmakaḥ (सम्भ्रमात्मकः) / stheryeṇottamamadhyānāṃ (स्थेर्येणोत्तममध्यानां) nīcānāṃ (नीचानां) cāpasarpaṇaiḥ (चापसर्पणैः)
