This is an attitude of pure pleasure, of disinterested contemplation (*samvit*), but not of true enlightenment which comes to the knower who, no longer on the empirical plane, transcends completely the sphere of pleasure as well as of pain. The attitude is variously termed *camatkāra-nirveśa* (awakening of poetic charm), *rasanā* (relish), *āsvāda* (taste), *bhoga* (fruition), *samāpatti* (accomplishment), *laya* (fusion) and *viśrānti* (repose), which terms indicate the philosophical colouring given to the doctrine. For the idea of *camatkāra* involved in *rasa*, see my introd. to *Vakrokti-jīvita* p. 26, fn 28 and below under Jagannātha (ch. vii).
