शान्त

Shanta

The rasa that arrives after the others have spoken. Not emptiness but settlement, the water clear because it has stopped being stirred, wanting nothing further from the hour.

करुणा

Karuna

The rasa of grief kept in good order. Not wailing, the quieter labour after: setting the cup back on its shelf, folding what will not be worn again, learning the exact weight of a name.

शृंगार

Shringara

The rasa of nearness and its long shadow. Not only the meeting, also the waiting that precedes it, the doorway watched all evening, the way a room rearranges itself around one absent person.

वीर

Veera

The rasa of the step taken anyway. Courage in this key is unglamorous and precise: the vow spoken before the odds are counted, the standing that costs something and is done quietly.

अद्भुत

Adbhuta

The rasa of the widened eye. Scale undoes us gently here: the world proves larger than the sentence built for it, and the poem's finest achievement is to stay astonished.
