[INDOLOGY] Statement on sthāyibhāva

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,

On page 23 of Aesthetic Rapture by Masson and Patwardhan , their work on
chapter 6 of Nāṭyaśāstra by Bharata is given a definition of sthāyibhāva .
"Now the sthāyibhāva is a state of mind which because it is more deeply
felt, dominates all other emotions.  It belongs to both the character and
to the spectator".

But the authors don't give a textual reference for this statement.  Can
anyone give me a textual reference that supports the part of the
definition: ". . . It belongs to both the character and to the spectator".

Thanks,
Harry Spier
