The Natya Shastra mentions six rasa in one section, but in the dedicated section on rasa it states and discusses eight primary rasa.[12][21] Each rasa, according to Nātyasāstra, has a presiding deity and a specific colour. There are 4 pairs of rasas. For instance, Hāsya arises out of Sringara. The Aura of a frightened person is black, and the aura of an angry person is red. Bharata Muni established the following:[22] * Śṛṅgāraḥ (शृङ्गारः): Romance, Love, attractiveness. Presiding deity: Vishnu. Colour: light green * Hāsyam (हास्यं): Laughter, mirth, comedy. Presiding deity: Shiva. Colour: white * Raudram (रौद्रं): Fury. Presiding deity: Shiva. Colour: red * Kāruṇyam (कारुण्यं): Compassion, mercy. Presiding deity: Yama. Colour: grey * Bībhatsam (बीभत्सं): Disgust, aversion. Presiding deity: Shiva. Colour: blue * Bhayānakam (भयानकं): Horror, terror. Presiding deity: Yama. Colour: black * Veeram (वीरं): Heroism. Presiding deity: Indra. Colour: saffron * Adbhutam (अद्भुतं): Wonder, amazement. Presiding deity: Brahma. Colour: yellow The Natyasastra lists eight Sthayibhavas with eight corresponding rasas: * Rati (Love) * Hasya (Mirth) * Soka (शोक) (Sorrow) * Krodha (Anger) * Utsaha (Energy) * Bhaya (Terror) * Jugupsa (Disgust) * Vismaya (Astonishment) ^ STHAYI BHAVA (STATIC MOOD) ^ ^ RASA ^ ^ Alambana Vibhavas (direct) ^ Uddipana Vibahavs (indrect ) ^ Anubhavas ^ Vyabhichari Bhavas ^ | Rati (Love) | {{blank:love.png}} | Śṛṅgāraḥ (erotic) | {{blank:romance.png}} | | | Sideglances, twisting of limbs, brows | Leaving aside, the fight | | Hasya (Mirth) | | Hāsyam (comedy) | {{blank:laugh.png}} | | | | | | Soka (शोक) (Sorrow) | {{blank:sorrow.png}} | Kāruṇyam (compassion) | {{blank:compassion.png}} | | | Cursing destiny, stupefaction | anxiety and uneasiness | | Krodha (Anger) | {{blank:angry.png}} | Raudram (fury ) | {{blank:fury.png}} | rape, abuse, insult, threatening, jealousy | Beating, breaking, crushing, cutting | | Red eyes, knitting of eyebrows, biting of lips, determination, energy, restlessness and trembling | | Utsaha (Enthusiasm) | {{blank:joy.png}} | Veeram (hero) | {{blank:brave.png}} | | | | | | Bhaya (Terror) | {{blank:fear.png}} | Bhayānakam (terror) | {{blank:terrorize.png}} | | | | | | Jugupsa (Disgust) | {{blank:disgust.png}} | Bībhatsam (aversion) | {{blank:aversion.png}} | | | | | | Vismaya (Astonishment) | {{blank:astonish.png}} | Adbhutam (wonder) | {{blank:wonder.png}} | | | | | | santa (calm) | | peace | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ^ SATVIK BHAVAS (Involuntary emotions) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | perspiration (sveda) | | | | | | | | | trembling (vaivarnya) | | | | | | | | | svarbhanga (speech disturbance) | | | | | | | | en/hindu_emotion_reasoning.txt Last modified: 2024/10/11 10:07by sentences
