The navarasas, according to India's performing arts traditions, are the nine feelings that an audience experiences when seeing a dance, music, or drama performance. Only eight are mentioned in the Natyashastra, a Sanskrit book by Bharata Muni on performing arts: Shringara, Hasya, Karuna, Raudra, Veera, Beebhatsa, Bhayanaka, and Adbhuta. Later, Nandikeshwara removed the ninth rasa, Shanta, from the Abhinaya Darpana.
Romantic Love: Shringara
Malavika, the princess of Vidarbha, captivated King Agnimitra's affections while posing as the queen's maid in his realm. Malavika expresses her affections for him through a dancing performance in the court; in doing so, she also makes apparent to the reader her romantic intentions.
Hasya - Laughter
Previously, Raman of Tenali was a very sluggish young man. When a sadhu once urged him to pursue employment, he lied and said that his poor health prevented him from working. He was then given a chant by the sadhu to call upon Kali and ask for her blessings. When Raman arrived at the temple, he started to worship. When the goddess first saw him, she found his clever appeal amusing and gave him the name "Vikatakavi," which is a palindrome in Telugu and means "clown-jester-poet." The feats of Tenali constitute the very essence of hasya.
Karuna - Empathy
Princess Savitri wed Satyavan, who would pass away a year after their union. The reader feels sympathy for the now-widowed Savitri when Satyavan's limbs were pierced by a sharp pain on a tragic day while they were in the woods gathering firewood and he collapsed unconscious.
Rage, Raudra
Babasaheb Ambedkar was raised in a Mahar family, which belonged to an untouchable caste. He experienced distinct treatment from his colleagues who belonged to the upper castes when he first started school. While his classmates sat on benches, he was forced to sit on the floor. Additionally, he was forbidden from touching the water container that was kept for the children and was had to drink it as the teacher poured it out for him. This profoundly saddened and infuriated the young Ambedkar, who in turn infuriated the audience.
Veera - Courage
This rasa is linked to a sensation of courage since it embodies a heroic attitude. It is related to boldness, bravery, self-assurance, confidence, and resolve. The veerya rasa has the power to rouse the brave from their slumber and instil them with a powerful, vivacious force. Aspects of this rasa include bravery in warfare, the mindset of warriors during fight, and the mindset of warriors during their final moments.
Beebhatsa - Abhorrent
This rasa represents a critical mind that indulges in feelings of self-pity, hate, and self-hatred. When one has this rasa, they feel contempt or discontent with themselves and others. A terrible sensation called Beebhatsa is evoked by impolite and vulgar behaviour as well as by utilising poor language and etiquette.
Fear by Bhayanaka
An emotion linked to anxiety, concern, unease, insecurity, and self-doubt, among other things. When one is confronted by something more powerful than themselves, bhayanaka is an emotion that arises. It's also a sensation of hopelessness and helplessness that we could experience in an uncontrollable circumstance.
Wonder - Adbhuta
This rasa, which means "wonder, awe, and surprise,"
It portrays our youthful innocence and the child who still lives inside. It is a feeling that inspires wonder for the seemingly little objects all around us. It feeds our curiosity and encourages us to live an adventurous life. Adbhuta is the sensation experienced when one encounters something celestial and extraterrestrial that has never been witnessed or imagined.
The Shanta-Peace
This rasa represents our state of complete tranquilly and relaxation. It denotes a state of tranquilly, contentment, or calm. Shanta is a symbol for total unification of the mind, body, and universe.
