Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

इष्टं वाऽनिष्टं वा सुखदुःखे वा न वेत्ति यो मोहात् ।
तूष्णीकः परवशगो भवति स जडसंज्ञितः पुरुषः
iṣṭaṃ vā'niṣṭaṃ vā sukhaduḥkhe vā na vetti yo mohāt |
tūṣṇīkaḥ paravaśago bhavati sa jaḍasaṃjñitaḥ puruṣaḥ

The line

The man who from delusion does not know the wanted or the unwanted, pleasure or pain: silent, gone under another's power, he is designated torpid.

नेपालीमा

मोहबाट चाहेको वा नचाहेको, सुख वा दुःख नचिन्ने, मौन, अर्काको वशमा परेको मानिसलाई जड भनिन्छ।

Where it sits

Jaḍatā (जडता). The prose says it is the failure to answer any task, from hearing or seeing the wanted and the unwanted, and from sickness. Silence and a gaze that does not blink are its acting.
