[P. 88. A. 2. S. 26.
happens to see a beautiful young woman. At the first sight his emotion is aroused and he begins to think of her. The emotion of love (fa) then is the स्थायी भाव and the young woman is the आलम्बन विभाव. Now suppose that the place where he meets the woman is a secluded garden and the woman seems to be favourably inclined towards him, then his love is sure to get intensified. These things that thus intensify the love of the man are called (2) fa-inflamers
of an emotion. Now suppose that his love is fixed and is gradually getting more and more intense; then during the course of the developement of his love sometimes he is afraid of being detected in his lovemaking, at other times he is yearning to see her, sometimes he feels a sense of disappointment; but all the while, these momentary feeling that appear and disappear ultimately help the progress of his love.
These short-lived feelings, therefore, are called व्यभिचारि भावs or sometimes संचारिभावs. These भावs are generally fixed for a fixed ; sometimes, however they are common to many as.
Again these as when fully developed are expressed by some gestures. These are called अनुभावs. For instance the outward signs from which it is inferred that a man is in love, are his languid gait, vacant gaze etc.. They are all as as are mentioned in the verse: गमनमलसं शून्या दृष्टिः शरीरमसौष्ठवम् ।
श्वसितमधिकम् ॥ etc. ( मालतीमाधवे )
To conclude a fully developed by means of विभाव and व्यभिचारिभाव and indicated by अनुभाव is termed a रस. रस as its etymology shows ( रस्यते इति रसः ). is a thing that is tasted and enjoyed.
