Re: [INDOLOGY] Statement on sthāyibhāva

[Nagaraj Paturi]

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

is not a translation , nor paraphrasing of a part of a Sanskrit text.

It is an explanatory sentence.

It belongs to both the character and to the spectator

is the restatement of the Rasanishpatti explanations in which the question
of yannishThah ?  is discussed.

 Rasa exists in both anukaarya = character, saamaajika/ prekshaka  =
spectator is one of the positions taken in this regard.

But in the case of sthaayeebhaava its existence in both anukaarya and
saamaajika / prekshaka is not disputed.
