v2.c77.203
Without going into details it may be remarked—that all these rasas and rasa-dṛṣṭis are not a copy of the Kāvyaśāstra. They have been amply modified in their lakṣaṇas to suit the sentiments characteristic of images in paints. While in poetry the Bhāvas are of secondary importance—the rasas supermost, here in painting, it is the bhāvas the physical and mental manifestations, which play the supreme role.
