Rupanuga Tattva Sara

Rupanuga Bhajana Darpana Song 6

1

rūpānuga tattwa-sāra bujhite akaṅkha
jāṅra rasa-jñāna tāṅra prayojana
cinmoya ānanda-rasa sarba-tattwa
jāṅra baśa akhaṇḍa parama tattwa-dhana

Vibhava (specific stimulants and supporting characters)

2

jāṅra bhāṇe jñāni jana brahmāloya-anweṣaṇa
kore nāhi bujhi ' beda-marma
jāṅra chāyā-mātra bore jogī-jana
joga kore jāra chale karmi kore karma

Anubhava (thirteen resultant ecstatic symptoms)

3

bibhāba anubhāba āra sāttwika sañcārī
cāra sthāyī bhābe milana śundara
sthāyī bhābe rasa hoya nitya
cid-ānanda-moya parama āswādya nirantara

Sattvika ( eigth especially disruptive ecstatic symptoms)

4

je rasa prapañca-gata joḍa-kābye
prokāśita parama rasera asan-mūrti
asan-mūrti nitya hoya ādarśera chāyā
hoya jena marīcikā jala-sphūrti

When rasa is expressed in the material world, it is praised throughout the materialistic literature of the world, but that is only a perverted reflection of this supreme mellow. It is temporary and is just like an imitation copy of the real thing, similar to a mirage which appears to be water in a desert.
