368 HISTORY OF SANSKRIT POETICS

number of rasas' Dr. Raghavan furnishes a corrected text of the section on शान्तरस from the भभिनवभारती. Vide p. 207 above for the view of the चन्द्रिका on शान्त viz. आधिकारिकत्वेन शान्तो रसो न निषदव्य :. We saw above that रुद्रट mentions a 10th रस called प्रेयान्. The भ. भा. (vol. I pp. 341-42) states that other rasas were put forward by some viz. स्नेह (भार्द्रता as स्थायिभाव), लौल्य and भक्ति and explains that स्नेह is nothing but रति and उत्साह, लौल्य would be included under हास or रति and भक्ति under रति. As देवादिविषयरति was called भाव (रसिर्देवादिविषया व्यभिचारी तथाजितः । भाव: प्रोक्त :- काव्यप्र. IV. 35) and not शङ्गार, others put forward भक्ति as a separate रस. The सङ्गीतरत्नाकर (verses 1370-71, VII. p. 815) says : the नट is like a vessel (पात्र) in which some liquid is kept. As the vessel does not taste the liquid, so the actor does not relish the rasa that is being evolved and further states that some put foreward भक्ति (श्रद्धा as स्थायिभाव), स्नेह and लौल्य as three rasas; but it rejects these. The ध्वन्यालोक1 says that शान्त and शृङ्गार both pervade the drama called नागानन्द, that तृष्याक्षयसुख is the स्थायिभाव of शान्त, quotes a verse from the Mahabharata in support and remarks that even granting for argument that all men have not the experience of तृष्णाक्षयसुख that does not matter. The Locana refers to the words of the नाट्यशास्त्र that in & are shown sometimes drama, sport, wealth and also sama sometimes (तलोक्यस्यास्य सर्वस्य नाट्यं भावानुकीतनम् । क्वचिद्धर्म: क्वचित्क्रीडा क्वचिदर्थ: क्वचिच्छमः ॥ I. 104). It further says that sama is suggested, though all may not like it. But, this last is not the test. Śrngara also may not be liked by some people such as those who are वीतराग (who have subdued all passions) but this does not mean that {Rr is not a rasa. Some said that if sama is held to be the sthayibhava of santa, then, as the actor does not possess that quality of sama, śānta cannot be a rasa in natya. The reply of the सङ्गीतरत्नाकर is quoted below.

1. शान्तश्व तृष्णाक्षयसुखस्य यः परिपोषस्तल्लचणो रसः प्रतीयते। तथा चोक्तम्। पच्च कामसुखं लोके यच्च दिव्यं महत्सुखम्। तृष्णाक्षयसुखस्यैते नार्हतः षोडर्शी कलाम्।। यदि नाम सर्वजनानुभवगोचरता तस्य नास्ति नैतावतासावलोकसामान्यमहानुभाव- चित्तवृत्तिविशेषवत् प्रतिक्षेप्तुं शक्यः । ध्व. (III. pp. 219-220). The verse यच० is शान्तिपर्व 175. 35=वायुपुराय 93. 101. 2. शाम्तस्य शमसाध्यत्वान्नटे च तदसम्भवात्। भ्रष्टावेव रसा नाट्येष्विति केचिदचू- चुदन्। तदचार यत: कंचिश्च रसं स्वदते नटः। सामाजिकास्तु लिहते रसान् पात्रं नटो मतः॥ संगीतरत्नाकर VII. p. 815 verses 1370-71.
