The concept of “Rasa”
1239 Here 'sandhi' refers to the five sandhis. 'Vrtti' refers to kaiśiki and the rest. 'rasántareşu' has a clear reference to nātya-rasas. Actually a full-fledged theory of nātya-sastra is referred to, as it were.
Ku. Sam. V. 82 is also especially noteworthy. It has "bhāvaika-rasam manasā” obviously in the sense of śộngāra-rasa.
The Mālavikā. has the following occurrence in a clear technical sense : Mālavikā. I. 4, reads as -
"devānām idam amananti munayah krāntam kratum cākṣuşam, rudrenedam umākṣta-vyatikare svánge vibhaktam dvidhā, traigunyódbhavam atra loka-caritam nānārasam dịśyate, nātyam bhinna-rucer janasya
bahudhā'py ekam samārādhanam.” Malavikā - II. 8 - is
"angair antar-nihita-vacanaiḥ sūcitaḥ samyag arthaḥ, pada-nyāso layam anugatas tanmayatyam rasesu, śākhāyonir mrdur abhinayas tadvikalpā'nu-víttau bhāvo bhāvam nudati visayād
rāga-bandhah sa eva." Mālavikā. IV. is
"tām āśritya śrutipathagatām āśayād-baddha-mūlaḥ, hasta-sparśair anukulita iva vyakta-romodgamatvāt kuryāt kāntam manasija-tarur mām rasa-jñam phalasya."
