Namaskaram sahrdayare🙏
Sage Bharata's Natyasastra (200 BCE and 200 CE) gives systematic and comprehensive analysis of emotions.
Sage noted that the rasa is not ordinary emotion but it's transformed, genarlized, and relished aesthetic form experienced by a receptive spectator.
The spectator (sahrdaya) does not identify personally with character's suffering but relishes the mood.
The ideal spectator is cultivated and receptive!
