"Concept of Rasa" as seen in Anandavardhana and...
1479 Bharata and holds that when the mind of the bhāvaka-s feels an identical feeling as that of some others (i.e. characters) it is called "sattva"by those who know : RS. I. 298 B (pp. 88) observes :
"anyeşām sukha-duḥkhā”di
bhāvanā-krta-bhāvanam." RS. I. 299 (pp. 88 ibid) observes :
"ānukūlyena yac cittam bhāvakānām pravartate, sattvam tad iti vijñeyam
prājñaih sattvódbhavān imān.” The bhāva-s or feelings born of this 'sattva' i.e. special mental quality, are termed 'sāttvika’-bhāva-s. They are eight such as : "stambha, sveda, romāñca, svara-bheda, vepathu, vaivarnya, aśru, and pralaya." RS. I. 300-301 (pp. 89. ibid) read as :
"sättvikā iti jānanti bharatā"di maharsayaḥ, sarveșām api bhāvānām. yaiḥ sattvam pravibhāvyate. te bhāvā bhāva-tartvajñalḥ sāttvikāḥ samudīritāḥ, te stambha-sveda-romāñcāḥ,
svarabhedaś ca vepathuḥ. (Rs. I. 300, 301) · vaivarṇyam aśru-pralayāv
ity asçau parikīrtitāḥ.”-(I. 302A) RS. describes each sättvika bhāva following Bharata. The cause and expression of each sättvika are meticuleusly discussed, with apt illustrations of all various causes of a given sättvika.
With the consideration of sāttvika-s, ends the first Chapter or vilāsa of the RS. called 'rañjakóllāsa.' (pp. 97, ibid).
In the beginning of the second 'vilāsa' of his Rs., Śingabhūpāla starts with the discussion on vyabhicāri-bhāva-s that are thirty-three following Bharata's lead,
