are called rasas (sentiments). Acharya Haribhadra has also included attitudes of mind in rasas (sentiments). As vedaniya karma (karma that causes feelings of happiness or misery) has two rasas (sentiments) of happiness and misery, in the same way poetry has nine rasas (sentiments).
Since ancient times it is believed that in poetics and rhetoric there are nine rasas (sentiments). Kavyanushasana too has a mention of nine rasas (sentiments). In later works there are mentions of eleven rasas (sentiments) also. It appears that at some point of time Vatsalya (parents' love towards progeny) and Bhakti (devotion) were also included. There is a slight difference in the lists of rasas (sentiments) found in works on poetics and this Agam.
Comparing the two we find that Jain acharyas have replaced Bhayanak-rasa (sentiment of fear or horror) with Vridanak-rasa (sentiment of shame or bashfulness) and Shant-rasa (sentiment of tranquillity) with Prashant-rasa (sentiment of profound serenity). According to acharya Malayagiri Bhayanak-rasa (sentiment of fear or horror) has been assimilated into Raudra-rasa (sentiment of rage or fury). However, in poetics Vridanak-rasa (sentiment of shame or bashfulness) is not accepted as a rasa (sentiment). Details of these nine rasas (sentiments) will be discussed now. १. वीररस (२) तत्थ (१) परिच्चायम्मि य, (२) तव-चरणे, (३) सत्तुजणविणासे य।
अणणुसय-धिति-परक्कमचिण्हो वीरो रसो होइ॥६४॥ २६२. (२) इन नव रसों में (१) परित्याग (दान) करने में अननुशय-गर्व या पश्चात्ताप न होना, (२) तपश्चरण में धृति-धैर्य, और (३) शत्रुओं का विनाश करने में पराक्रम ये तीन वीर रस के लक्षण हैं।।६४॥ वीरो रसो जहा
सो णाम महावीरो जो रजं पयहिऊण पव्वइओ।
