Answer:
considered as a ninth rasa, a concept of aesthetic flavour in Sanskrit literature.
Explanation:
According to translation of Abhinavabhārati, Abhinavagupta's commentary on Nāṭyaśāstra by some experts, śāntarasa may be defined as: "that which brings happiness and welfare to all beings and which is accompanied by the stabilization (saṃsthitā) in the Self".[3] It has as its stable emotion (sthāyibhāva) as impassivity (sama) which culminates in detachment (Vairāgya) arising from knowledge of truth and purity of mind.[4] According to J L Masson and M V Patwardhan, who have collected the original manuscripts and translated Abhinavagupta's work, observe: the audience undergoes transcendental experience, which is basic to all aesthetic experience in a play based on śāntarasa.[5] It was not included in the list of rasas mentioned by Bharata in his epic Nāṭyaśāstra. The inclusion of this rasa as a prominent one in Sanskrit poetry and dramaturgy is attributed to Udbhata, a president in the court of king Jayapida of Kashmir during 779-813 AD and a contemporary of Vamana.[6][7] Much of the literary criticism on this flavor was further carried out by Ānandavardhana in his commentary on Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa and later by Abhinavagupta in Nāṭyaśāstra.
