¸é²¹²õ²¹²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹ (रससूतà¥à¤�) refers to Bharata’s “dictum on rasaâ€�.—The theory of rasa was visualized and codified by Bharata, the author of the NÄá¹­yaÅ›astra, the earliest available work on Dramaturgy of the 3rd century A.D. Bharata’s dictum on rasa is known as °ù²¹²õ²¹²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹, which runs thus—â€�tatra vibhÄvÄnubhÄvavyabhicÄrisaṃyogÄdrasa²Ô¾±á¹£p²¹³Ù³Ù¾±á¸�â€�. Bharata is silent about the meaning of the words ²õ²¹á¹ƒy´Ç²µ²¹ or ²Ô¾±á¹£p²¹³Ù³Ù¾± used in the °ù²¹²õ²¹-²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹. So this °ù²¹²õ²¹-²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹ has been interpreted by different rhetoricians in various ways. These interpretations are—Bhaá¹­á¹­a Lollaá¹­a, Bhaá¹­á¹­a Åšaṃkuka, Bhaá¹­á¹­a NÄyaka and Abhinavagupta.
