Versified History of Sanskrit Poetics: The Soul Is Rasa

Description

A revolution in Vedānta was created by Jagannātha when he stated: cid eva rasaḥ, “The soul is Rasa.” This was reiterated by Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa in Sāhitya-kaumudī and is the pinnacle of all philosophical research in the history of humankind. This book is figuratively called “versified” because it contains 360 verses of first-class poetry, showcasing the evolution of the theory of Rasa in the works of forty-three masters of poetic theory. The Vaishnavas’ contributions are also elaborately described.
