VYAKARAN (GRAMMAR)
The description of eight Vibhaktis (declension) and seven Samasas (compounding of words) under the title Ashtnaam is useful for students of grammar (aphorisms 225-231).
NAVA RASA (NINE SENTIMENTS)
The description of nava rasa (nine sentiments) of poetics (aphorisms 261-262) includes some new concepts and order. Nine sentiments in poetics and drama are-Shringar-rasa (amatory or erotic sentiment), Hasya-rasa (sentiment of humour or comic sentiment), Karun-rasa (pathos or tragic sentiment), Raudra-rasa (sentiment of rage or fury), Vira-rasa (heroic sentiment), Bhayanakrasa (sentiment of fear or horror), Vibhatsa-rasa (sentiment of disgust), Adbhut-rasa (sentiment of wonder), and Shant-rasa (sentiment of tranquillity). But in this Sutra first in the order is heroism (Vira-rasa). A new sentiment is included as Vridanak-rasa (sentiment of shame or bashfulness). This sentiment does not find any mention in any other treatise on poetics. The commentator (Churni and Tika) Haribhadra has given no clarification in this context. But Acharya Maladhari Hemchandra has explained that horrifying things evoke the sentiment of fear or horror. In this work Bhayanak-rasa is included in Raudra-rasa (sentiment of rage or fury) and Vridanakrasa is described as a separate sentiment.
