"This art is not merely for your pleasure, but exhibits bhava (emotion) for all the three worlds. I made this movement as following the movement of the world ... yelding the fruit of righteousness to those who follow the moral law, ... a discipline for the followers of a rule to create wisdom in the ignorant, ... replete with the diverse moods, informed with varying passions of the soul, linked to the deeds of all mankind, the best, the middling and the low, affording excellent counsel, pastime and all else." Natyasastra - Bharata Muni |
