In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)艢腻苍迟补谤补蝉补 (啶多ぞ啶ㄠ啶むぐ啶�) refers to the 鈥渟entiment of quietism鈥� as defined by Cira帽j墨va Bha峁弓膩c膩rya (fl. 17th century).鈥�Cira帽j墨va says the basic feeling of 艣腻苍迟补-谤补蝉补 is self-disparagement (nirveda). 艢腻苍迟补谤补蝉补 is generated by excitants (惫颈产丑腻惫补) like association with the good souls etc. Ensuants (补苍耻产丑腻惫补) like mercy etc. and variants like stupefaction etc. Cira帽j墨va considers nirveda as dishonour of self or contempt of worldly objects. Cira帽j墨va has considered stupefaction (stambha) as the variant of 艣腻苍迟补. In fact stambha is known as one of the eight 蝉腻迟迟惫颈办补-产丑腻惫补蝉. These 蝉腻迟迟惫颈办补-产丑腻惫补蝉 may be considered as 补苍耻产丑腻惫补s but Cira帽j墨va has taken it as 惫测补产丑颈肠腻谤颈产丑腻惫补 or variant of adbhuta-rasa and 艣腻苍迟补-谤补蝉补.
