"Concept of Rasa" as seen in Anandavardhana and...
1483 RS. now (II. 98, pp. 141, 2 ibid) comes to the problem of bhāvā”bhāsa. This is done following the accepted lead of the Kashmir School as represented by Anandavardhana and Abhinavagupta. RS. II. 98, observes :
"ābhāsatā bhaved esām anaucitya-pravartinām, asatyatvād a-yogyatvād
anaucityam dvidhā bhavet.” Bhāvā”bhāsa is born of impropriety which is two-fold viz. (i) due to its (=bhāva's) being unreal or (ii) due to its being improper (to the context).
The first type is seen with reference to insentient objects. In the verse viz. "kas tvam bho, kathayāmi...." etc. actually a tree cannot feel a sensation and the description of despondency with reference to a tree is in itself untrue. The other variety is with reference to the lowly born people with undignified behaviour, and also with reference to birds, beasts etc. RS. II. 99 (pp. 142, ibid) reads as :
a-satya-krtam tat syād acetanagatam tu yat, a-yogyatva-kştam próktam
nīca-tiryan-narā”śrayam. RS. talks of four stages of vyabhicārins such as utpatti (=bhāvódaya), sandhi, śabalya (=sabalatā), and (bhāva) śānti. (RS. II. 100, pp. 143).
RS. picks up the discussion on sthāyins at II. 104, and enumerates the eight as established by Bharata : (pp. 145, ibid) :
"sajātīyair vijātīyair bhāvair ye tv atiraskṛtāḥ, kșirádbi-van nayanty anyān svātmatvam sthāyino hi te." bharatena ca te kathitā rati-hāsó-tsāha-vismaya-krodhāḥ, śokótha jugupsā bhayam ity asțau lakṣma vaksyate teşām."
