(Concluding Remarks.] (Vák yani rasátmakunk kávyam, Poetry is a sentence, the soul whereof is flavour. Such is the definition of poetry given by the Sahitya-darpana, and the present lecture deals with this question of flavour and its concomitants. As the arrangement in the Bhasha-bhushana is not very regular, a brief resume of the contents will not be nmiss. The foundation of all poetical Flavour (rasa) is Emotion (bhava). A poetical work has one of the so-called Underlying Emotions (sthayi-bháva) as its basis, and this forms the foundation of the Flavour (or Psychic condition produced in the hearer) which forms its listinguishing feature. One poem may be distinguished by the Erotic Flavour, and the Emotion on which it is founded will be Love. Another may be distingaished by the Heroic Flavour, and its motive Emotion will be Magnauimity. So also for other flavours.
Each flavour must have one or more Excitants (vilkeca=dlambana uldipana, vy. 39, 40). and may have one or more Ensuants (annbhára, T. 39), including Involuntary Expressions of Emotion, sáttvika-bháva, v. 25), and Accessory Emotions (ryabhichári-bhava, vv. 40 and ff.).
