Example
After the fall of son of the Sun-God (Karna), and after the rising of the Pāndavas, how, even now, is the life of Duryodhana not going?3
Basically, the authors first give the definitions before showing some supportive examples for their favour. Such tradition is accepted here by PR. Now, he gives this above example to keep intact the basic nature of 'fanta' as a primc mood. In this verse, the 'fayra', the '3714Ta' etc., are shown distinctly as PR says, the seeing of ones own fall and rising of others is excitant i.e., fauta. Further the seeking for the loss of life and the facing downwards etc., caused by that, are ensuants i.e., 3724124
Cleverly PR starts his arguments with his opponents by showing the various objections with his masterly knowledge that, those are thinking that this mood
fanta' should be merged or have some similarity with other moods are not correct. It cannot be included with other moods. Thats why PR takes four major ones namely fright (त्रास), anxiety (चिन्ता), sickness (दैन्य) and वीररस ध्वनि. Now, we hereby give these four objections one by one.
(a) T: There is no possibility of doubting the suggestion of the emotion or
mood of 'fright' here, due to the absence of even little fright in the case of
Duryodhana, the great fighter. (b) for all : The suggestive mood of anxiety also cannot be doubted, because of
his promise, namely, I would be killed after fighting (or, fighting is his born
taught habit). (c) : Even the suggested mood of wretchedness need not be doubted,
because of the non-consideration of the danger, even in the destruction of
the whole army.? (d) aleaft: And finally, the suggested heroic rasa also cannot be doubted,
because of the lack of enthusiasm towards downfall of enemies life, resorting to death.8
Ater explaining the details about the natures of various moods as regard to despair (fayl), now PR quotes a beautiful verse to defend his own views and to make 'faura' a distinct mood for the realisation of sentiment or 'Th'. The following verse which is quoted to show the importance of 'Ta' only, where 'fagre' is not developed properly.
