________________ ce 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 their order. Nine sentiments in poetics and drama are—(1) Shringar-rasa (amatory or erotic sentiment), (2) Hasya-rasa (sentiment of humour or comic sentiment), (3) Karun-rasa (pathos or tragic sentiment), (4) Raudra-rasa (sentiment of rage or fury), (5) Vira-rasa (heroic sentiment), (6) Bhayanak-rasa (sentiment of fear or horror), (7) Vibhatsa-rasa (sentiment of disgust), (8) Adbhut-rasa (sentiment of wonder), and (9) 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 Raudrarasa (sentiment of rage or fury) and Vridanak-rasa is described as a different sentiment. SAMUDRIK SHAASTRA With the classification of standard and non-standard structure and dimensions of the human body, signs of good, mediocre or average and bad persons based on body marks have also been mentioned (aphorism 334). For instance, a person whose height is 108 times the finger-width, who has body-marks of conch shell, bullock etc. has moles and spots on his body and who has virtues like sense of forgiveness, is called an excellent person. A person whose height is 104 times the finger-width is average and a person whose height is 96 times the finger-width is a bad type These details help one know about the information contained in the works of that period on interpreting body marks Similarly Sutras 653 and 654 include information about how on the basis of the observation of the sky and the position of stars and planets prediction was made about likely rainfall and its intensity, good or poor crops and other such forecasts.
