*kṛśāśvin* and *bharata*) from the names of the three well-known teachers on dramaturgy. Pāṇini refers to the formation of the first two terms, but not that of the third; but this silence of the grammarian does not prove anything. The Jaina *Aṇuogadārasutta* (ed. N. S. P. 1915, fol. 134-145, also quoted in Weber ii 2, pp. 701-02) which, Winternitz thinks, was probably put together by the middle of the 5th century, mentions nine *rasas*, which, however, have hardly any reference poetic or dramatic *rasas*; but the enumeration is interesting from the inclusion of *praśānta* (not mentioned by Bharata), apparently from religious motives.
