ladies like T峁涐梗峁嘺, who belong to the same family, fall on the ground and
raise their lament."
Here the sentiment of Pathos is developed through I峁ａ弓an膩艣a i.e. the
destruction of Mah膩moha who is the beloved husband of Durmati, and through
Ani峁ａ弓apr膩pti i.e. obtaining widowhood, (this elememt is not evident). Here
lamentation of Durmati is Sthayibh膩va; Mah膩moha who is already dead is
膧lambana; Uddipanabhava is silent. Tumburu's denouncing the fate, lamentation of
T峁涐梗峁嘺 etc. are Anubh膩vas; Durmatis falling in swoon, decline of her status and
sorrowful condition are Vyabhic膩ribh膩vas.
Thus these two are apt examples delineating Karu峁嘺rasa.
Raudrarasa or Furious Sentiment :
Raudrarasa is usually developed in the battle scene. Krodha or Anger is its
Sth膩y墨bh膩va; Redness is its colour and Raudra is the deity of this sentiment.
enemy is the 膧lambana-Vibh膩va and the actions of the person like first fighting
become Uddipanabh膩vas. Moreover, fist fighting making enemy to fall ground,
deceitful actions, rushing to the battle-field etc. Then biting one's lips, clapping,
sensuring, declaring one's own valour, holding a weapon etc. are Anubh膩vas. And
Ugrat膩 or Avega, Rom膩帽cana, Sveda, Vepata, Mada etc. are Vyabhic膩ribh膩vas of
Raudra sentiment.25
There are copious examples delineating this sentiment. For example;
