Unfortunately, karuṇā is decidedly not the same thing as the rasa of which Bhavabhūti speaks, not even getting onto the tangent of what Bhavabhūti’s project was, and what his famous statement actually signifies. I’d be interested to see what she comes up with in her investigation, though.

Comment on Interview with Elena Jessup of St James, London by V.Radhakrishnan

“..So what is in a language?”, one may ask.
“A lot.” is the answer. Let us see, how Sanskrit, as a language, has been a vehicle for Indian thought and philosophy.
The word ‘beggar’ in English, conveys the image of a person in tattered clothes, bothering people. In most of the languages of the world, it suggests an undesirable and unwelcome image.
In Sanskrit the equivalent word is “Bikshu”, a word which means ‘a venerated person’.
Similarly, the word for an old man in Sanskrit is ‘vridh’ which has only positive connotations with its meaning translating into ‘growth’.
Yet another is the word for ‘victory’. Whereas in most languages it is the opposite of ‘defeat’ or ‘lose’, in Sanskrit, the antonym of the word victory- ‘jaya’, is ‘parajaya’, merely meaning ‘victory of the other’, sowing the seeds of advaitha thought- that plurality is just an illusion of the singular truth.
