"Concept of Rasa” as seen in Anandavardhana and......
1429 “Rasa' is sthāyin raised to the capacity of relish, caused by vibhāvas, anubhāvas, sāttvikas and vyabicărins. This is directly accepted from DR. IV. i. Śā. also observes before this that when vibhāvā"dis are presented in an appropriate way, they cause the sthāyin to be known. Along with vibhāvā"di-s and four-fold acting these sthāyins reach the status of a rasa. B.P. (pp. 36, lines 7-10) :
vibhāvā”dyair yathāsthāna-praviștaiḥ sthāyinah smrtāḥ, caturbhis' cā'py abhinayaiḥ prapadyante rasā”tmatām. vibhāvair anubhāvais ca sāttvikair vyabhicāribhiḥ, ānīyamānaḥ svādutvam
sthāyī bhāvo rasaḥ smstah.” The DR. has "ānīyamānah svādyatvam.” This is the only difference between the DR. and the BP.
Then the BP. accepts parts from the NS. and continues as follows : B.P. (pp. 36, lines - 11-14) reads as -
"vyañjanausadhi-samyogaḥ yathā”nnam svādutām nayet, evam nayanti rasatām
itare sthāyinam śritāḥ.” The first half is from Bharata (ref. G.O.S. Edn. Vol. I, pp. 288-289, Ch. VI. 35, etc. etc.) The next half says that the other bhāvas lead the sthāyin to the status of a rasa, (like ingrediats leading food-stuff to the state of being palatable). The other portion that follows in the B.P. is also under the influence of the NS. The B.P. reads : (lines : 15-22):
"yathā nānā-prakārair vyañjanausadhaiḥ pāka-viseșaiśca samskệtāni vyañjanāni madhurā"di-rasānām-anyatamena ātmanā parinamanti, tad bhoktrnām manobhis tādrśā"tmatayā svādyante, tathā nānāprakārair vibhāvā"dibhāvair abhinayaih saha yathā”rham abhivardhitāḥ sthāyino bhāvāḥ sāmājikānām manasi rasā”tmanā pariņamantas teşām tādātvika-manovịtti-bheda-bhinnās tat tad rūpeṇa tai rasyante."
