SAHRDAYĀLOKA how can it be represented by one who does not feel sorrow ? Pleasure is of the nature of excessive joy and how can it be represented by one who does not feel happiness ? So this is what is stated as its mental or internal status. These are called sātrvika-bhāvas-external manifestations of internal feelings and explained so since feelings like tears and horripilation can be represented (on the stage) by persons who are not at all happy or worried. The eight sāttvikas are :
“stambhaḥ svedótha romāñcah svarabhedótha vepathuḥ vaivarnyam-aśru-pralaya
ity aştau sāttvikāḥ matāḥ." Bharata then individually takes up each sättvika bhāva and explaines how it can be performed. • Bharata also explains which vyabhícārins and sātrvika bhāvas would go with which rasa :
"ekóna-pañcāśad ime yathāvat bhāvās tryavasthā hy uditā mayéha, bhūyaś ca ye yatra rase niyojyās śrotum arhanti tu vipra-mukhyāh.”
(pp. 226, ibid, Trans., Unni) - "Thus I have shown here forty nine emotions divided into three divisions. Oh best of Brahmins, now it is upto you to listen to the explanation as to which of these pertain to the particular sentiments in its delineation."
Bharata then explains and names the vyabhicārins and sāttvikas that go with this or that rasa.
Bharata ends the chapter with some special observations concerning bhāvas and rasas. He observes (pp. 228, 229, Unni. ibid; and also trans) -
na hyeka-rasajam kāvyam kiñcid asti prayogataḥ, “bhāvo vā’pi raso vā’pi pravṛttir vșttir eva vā., bahūnām samavetānām rūpam yasya bhaved bahu, sa mantavyo rasaḥ stāyī, seșāḥ sancāriņo matāḥ, dīpayancaḥ pravartante ye punaḥ sthāyinam rasam. vibhāvā’nubhāva-yukto hyanga-vastu-samāśrayaḥ
