Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)Rasasūtra (रससूत्र) refers to Bharata’s “dictum on rasa”.—The theory of rasa was visualized and codified by Bharata, the author of the Nāṭyaśastra, the earliest available work on Dramaturgy of the 3rd century A.D. Bharata’s dictum on rasa is known as rasasūtra, which runs thus—“tatra vibhāvānubhāvavyabhicārisaṃyogādrasaniṣpattiḥ”. Bharata is silent about the meaning of the words saṃyoga or niṣpatti used in the rasa-sūtra. So this rasa-sūtra has been interpreted by different rhetoricians in various ways. These interpretations are—Bhaṭṭa Lollaṭa, Bhaṭṭa Śaṃkuka, Bhaṭṭa Nāyaka and Abhinavagupta.
