Description:

The present study undertakes to view Jayadeva's Gitagovinda through the theory of rasa as propounded in the Natyasastra of Bharata, the Dhvanyaloka of anandavardhana, and the Locana of Abhinavagupta. However, by reading the tenets of rasa as suggestions for the compositional process rather than that of textual enjoyment, some details concerning how a poet may produce a work that evokes rasa emerge, including the important role of sound in poetic composition.
