In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)¶Ù²¹²âÄ屹ī°ù²¹ (दयावीà¤�) refers to the “heroic sentiment of benevolenceâ€�, representing one of the varieties of VÄ«rarasa, or “heroic sentimentâ€� according CirañjÄ«va Bhaá¹á¹ÄcÄrya (fl. 17th century) in his KÄvyavilÄsa, Bharata’s NÄá¹yaÅ›astra and ViÅ›vanÄtha’s SÄhityadarpaṇa.
Example of the heroic sentiment of benevolence (»å²¹²âÄ屹ī°ù²¹):â€�
udañcatkallolaistridaÅ›apatimuddiÅ›ya vinayÄ« puraá¸� svÄ«yÄmeva prathayati tanuá¹� niá¹£krayavidhau |
adhoñcatkallolairbhayataralamÄsvÄsayitumutprapannaá¹� mainÄkaá¹� punarayamatho yÄti jaladhiá¸� ||“This ocean which is modest to Indra, the king of the gods, for doing a favour in return which is increasing his own body with upward roaring waves, is going again to offer consolation (assuarance) with downward roaring waves to MainÄka which is melted out of fear and seeking protectionâ€�.
Notes: This verse is taken from MÄdhavacampÅ«, which is his own composition. In this verse in Å›¾±°ì³ó²¹°ù¾±á¹‡Ä� metre, the ocean is the excitant. Its upward and downward movement with waves are ensuants, pride and passion are variants with the help of these moods, the sentiment of heroic of benevolence is manifested.
CirañjÄ«va is of opinion that the sentiment of the heroic of benevolence (»å²¹²âÄ屹ī°ù²¹) is different from the sentiment of pathos (°ì²¹°ù³Üṇa). The designation of the sentiment of pathos to the sentiment of the heroic of benevolence is secondary. CirañjÄ«va means to point out that in benevolence there may be a touch of pathos but this is considered as secondary. He adds further that the heroic sentiment of benevolence can not be included in the sentiment of pathos. This is due to the reason that the basic feeling of the sentiment of benevolence is heroism and the basic feeling of the sentiment of pathos is sorrow.

Kavyashastra (कावà¥à¤¯à¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤°, °ìÄå±¹²â²¹Å›Äå²õ³Ù°ù²¹) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
