As Santarasa is delineated predominently in the drama; it is evident that there are many references to the development of this rasa. For example : darpodagradasendriyananamanonaktancaradhisthite dehe'smin bhavasindhuna parigate dinam dasamasthita | adyatve hanumatsamanaguruna prakhyapitarthah puman lankaruddhavideharajatanayanyayena lalpyate || S.S. I - 71, p. 144-45 "Like Sitadevi crying in Lanka in her imprisonment, having been informed at that time of the whereabouts of Sri Rama by Hanuman, Purusa is confined

222 in the body surrounded on all sides by the seas of Samsara, with the mind swayed by the ten senses like the proud Raksasa with ten heads. tormenting him and has reached a pitiable state being taught the great truths of spiritual life by a guru of the calibre of Hanuman, and cries his heart out." Here, Santarasa is delineated. The state of calmness is obtained by the individual soul by the advise of a competent preceptor. So individual soul finds all wordly things empty. Therefore, Alambanavibhava of Santarasa is brought here. Another example from the seventh Act runs as follows: kvacidvahadhisah kvacidamaradantavalapatih kvacitpraleyamsuh kvacidamrtaviccharditamiti | atiksobhe sindhorayamanaghanidro dhrtagiri visadam devanam vighatayati vaikunthakamathah || S.S. VII - 20, p.628. "On one side, the horse Ucchaisravas; on another, the celestial elephant Airavata; here the moon and there the rising ( out of the waters) of ambrosia - when, in these ways, the ocean was being turned inside out, the Great Tortoise, dispelled the grief of the gods by bearing the mountain on His back, while lying asleep without feeling any discomfort." This stanza speaks of Kurma's discarding Celestial elements like Ucchaisravas, Amrta etc. Kurma stands unshaking in the ocean bearing a mountain on his back and dispels the grief of all gods. So before Lord Narayana in the form of Kurma all elememts including Amruta are Heya i.e. discardable. Due to the transient quality of even celestial things, they are said discardable, but it is not due to jigupsa 16. Thus Santarasa is delineated here. 16. atra vid'dhimiti carmamomihadhrva, devaki santaraso vyajyata iti na jugupsaslilatadosah || S.S. VII - p.628

223 kamadikesvapagatesu kathavasesam sampratyasau samadamadigunopapannah | maitridayadiparikarmavibhusitena sraddhadhanena manasa labhate samadhim || S.S. X - 7, p. 800 "Now that Kama and others have disappered eaving only their names (in the memory), Purusa is endowed with the virtues of Sama, Dama and the like and with his mind adorned with such graces as love to all beings. compassion and the like, and possessed of the wealth of faith he attains. Samadhi." Here Vibhavas of Santarasa are indicated i.e. Purusa has completely turned away his face from Samsara as he has given up all desires of mundane world. He is in close position of Sama, Dama etc. Hence, his mind is very much devoted to Lord Visnu and hence he is engrossed in meditaion.1 17 Another example may be given Anubhavas of Santarasa are present: niyatapulakitangi nirbharanandabaspa galitanikhilasanga gadgadastotragitih | amrtalaharivarna harsanrttopapanna vigatanarakabhitirvisnubhaktirvibhati || S. S. X- 24, p. 816 "Where is the noble Visnubhakti, now, who is expecting the fulfillment of my endeavour and who removes all the sins (of mankind). It is to please her that we proceed to do all this - looking in front she, Visnubhakti, shines as white in complexion as the wave of nector. Her hair always stands on end (owing to her deep devotion) and she sheds copious tears of joy. She has 17. evam santarasavibhava uktah | taduktam samgitaratnakare "samsarabhiruta dosadarsanam visayesu ca | yogisa muninam ca krpasamadamaksamah || adhyatmavisaya goni tapasastapasasrayah | bhurinirjharajhamkarivaritirthani tirthakah | visnubhaktiprada vidya vibhava yatra samgatah || " Prabhavilasa, X - p.801

224 given up all attachment (to wordly things) and is ever singing hymns with flattering accents. In the excessive joy (of her devotion) she dances and is absolutely free from the fear of hell." This verse gives the description of Visnubhakti. Visnubhakti is overwhelmed with joy for Purusa is ascending the ladder of meditaion. She expresses her feelings of ecstacy in various ways like horripulation, shedding tears of joy, singing hymns and dancing. These are called Anubhavas of Santarasa.18 In this manner, we find many examples delineating santarasa. I - 32, II-65, IV- 57, VI-61 VIII-42, VIII-48,X-7, X-38. Most of the examples are found in the tenth Act as it describes the culminating stages of Purusa.
