On Rasa
View through CrossRef
A key concept in the Caitanya Vaiṣṇava theology of devotion is rasa. Chapter 3 explores Kavikarṇapūra’s understanding of rasa. The concept is first articulated by Bharata in the Nāṭya‐śāstra, the most influential treatise on dramaturgy. The earliest authors on rasa saw it as a heightened form of the main emotion of a literary work’s characters, but from the tenth century it is also used to explain the audience’s response to a work. Kavikarṇapūra draws on these concepts of rasa, and formulates a rasa theory that reinterprets the earlier authors (particularly Bhoja) through the ideas of the later authors (particularly Viśvanātha Kavirāja) and attempts to allow both views of rasa to function independently of each other, in the same poetics. This chapter also traces the origins of Kavikarṇapūra’s views on devotional rasa (bhakti‐rasa), through the works of Vopadeva, Hemādri, and his own guru Śrīnātha, and explores the way his theology influenced his views on rasa.
