There are nine such modes.* As Prajnana [Objective Perception], She is the power behind all modes of enjoyment. - Dr. C. Suryanarayana Murthy, Commentary on the Sri Lalita Sahasranama, 1962 * The Natyasastra lists seven rasas, and two are later additions. The nine "modes" referred to here are: sringara - love veera - valour karuna - sympathy raudra - anger bhaydnaka- fear bhibatsa - disgust hasya - humour adbhuta - wonder shanti - peace , "NMadasamy" <ashwini_puralasamy wrote: > > > rasajNA : Mistress of [every kind] of literary composition. > > Rasa, ten modes of dramatic composition, namely SrngAra, etc.. > > RasajNa means also the sense of taste. > > > > > BhAskararAya's Commentary > Translated into English by R.
