PUBLISHER'S NOTE
We have great pleasure in presenting to the world of scholars Some Aspects of the Rasa Theory as the fourth volume of the Bhogilal Leherchand Series. There has been considerable delay in publishing this book for reasons over which we could not possibly have any control and therefore we crave the indulgence of the scholars who have contributed the papers to this publication.
We sincerely thank Professor V. M. Kulkarni and his Research Assistant, Miss Nirmalaben Chheda, M.A., for successfully organising the Seminar on the Rasa Theory at Patan in 1982 and preparing the Presscopy of this volume. Our thanks are due to the authorities of the Mouj Printing Bureau, 'Khatau Wadi, Bombay who have spared no pains to make the volume attractive.
This volume, it is earnestly hoped, will be warmly welcomed by scholars interested in the theories of art, more especially in the Indian theories of art and comparative aesthetics.
