He applies this metaphor to explain the subjectivity of the actor’s soul regarding his stage appearance assumed along with colours, make-up and costume, which Bharata considers as the representation of the action of living beings (gods), forming the divine body which actor’s soul clothes. Interpreting the rasa theory in the light of the invoked metaphor is based on Bharata’s description suggesting the coherence between the theory of stage representation (abhinaya), the theory of emotional states (bhāva) and the rasa theory, according to three levels of the experience: bodily, emotional and subjective.  }, doi = {10.4467/20843933ST.15.017.4502 }, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-litteraria-uic/artykul/uczucia-i-stany-psychologiczne-w-natjasastrze-bharatymuniego} }
