Abstract
Bharatha’s Rasa, Anandavardhana’s Dhwani and Kshemendra’s Aucitya are considered the cardinal concepts of Indian Aesthetics by many Indian aestheticians like C.D. Narasimhaiah (East West Poetics at Work) and V. Raghavan (Some Concepts of Alankarasastra). Rasa is produced from a combination of determinants (vibhavas), consequents (anubhavas) and transitory states. Is there any dristanta for it? Tastes results from a combination of spices, vegetables and other articles. Six tastes are produced by articles such as raw sugar or spices or vegetables. So the stayibhava in combination with other bhavas become rasa. What is the meaning of rasa—it is capable of being tasted- (asvadyate). How is rasa tasted?
