In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: JAINpedia: JainismNavarasa (नवरस) or simply Rasa refers to the “nine sentiments” in poetics and dramaturgy and represents one of the topics dealt with in the Anuyogadvārasūtra: a technical treatise on analytical methods, a kind of guide to applying knowledge.—In Muni Puṇyavijaya’s words, “the Nandi which is of the form of five Jñānas serves as a mangala in the beginning of the study of the Āgamas; and the Anuyogadvāra-sūtra serves as a key to the understanding of the Āgamas”.
The nine sentiments (navarasa) are:
- vīra (heroism)
- śṛṅgāra (eroticism)
- adbhuta (wonder)
- raudra (fury)
- vṛdānaka, (shame, which is not in other Indian schools)
- bībhatsa (disgust)
- hāsa (comedy or humour)
- karuṇā (pity or compassion)
- śānta (tranquillity)
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
