always refers to another region or country. The verse (107) arai ar etc., describes Radha's pathetic-tragic condition caused by Krishna's departure to Dwarikā. She embraced the Vañjula creeper bent down due to Kṛṣṇa's jumps into the Yamuna river, and kept singing such a pathetic song that even the creatures in the waters began to sob.
As for the variety of शापहेतुकप्रवासविप्रलम्भ, Hemachandra says that the whole of the Meghaduta of Kalidasa is an instance in point since it describes the lovelorn condition of a certain Yakṣa who was separated from his beloved due to a curse of his master Kubera.
And the संम्भ्रमहेतुकप्रवासविप्रलम्भ, a variety of विप्रलम्भशृङ्गार, is instanced in (108) Malatīmādhava (8. 13) wherein the condition of Madhava, who had gone to help Makaranda, becomes truly pitiable. The Comic Sentiment
The Rasa defined in the next Sutra (II. 9) is Hasya or the Comic sentiment. Ths essence of Hasya lies in its being produced from something done which is incompatible with a particular place, time, age and rank. Its Vibhavas (determinants) are unseemly dress or ornament, impudence, greediness, quarrel, a defective limb, the use of irrelevant words, mentioning of different faults etc. Its gras (consequents) are the throbbing of the lips, the nose, the cheek, opening the eyes wide or contracting them, perspiration, colour of the face and taking hold of the sides. Its as (transitory feelings) are indolence, dissimulation or concealment of inner feelings, drowsiness, sleep, dreaming, insomnia, envy, etc. Hasya is of two types: Self-centred or з and Centred in others i.e., Parastha. When a person himself laughs, it is called the Atmastha type, but when he makes others laugh, it is Parastha type.
The next Sutra (10) defines and explains the three kinds of Atmasthahasya. The best kind of the is fa-slight smile, which involves heaving of the cheeks, which is attended by charming eye-glances and in which the teeth are not visible.
