[Guest guest]

rasasevadhih : Treasury of rasa.

 

rasa, the nectar of Brahman. The Sruti [Tai. Up., II. 6. 1] :"He is

the rasa, when this essence is obtained one becomes blessed" The

BrahmA. Pr.. also says, "Rasa is the supreme Brahman. Rasa is the

supreme way, Rasa is the giver of light to man, Rasa is said to be

the seed. He is the rasa, one having obtained the rasa becomes

blessed. This, on the authority of the scriptures, rasa represents

the vital breath. Who can live or who can breathe [without Him} Thus

as Sruti [Tai. Up., II. 6. 1] speaks. Hence O Agastya, rasa is said

to be both the vital breath and the giver of vital breath"

 

BhAskararAya's Commentary

Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.

 

 

 

 

Thus ends in the SaubhAgyabhAskara composed by BhAsurAnanda, the

ninth KalA called Visva with eight hundred.
