[...] The Erotic (Sringira) the Comic (Hasya) the Pathetic (Karuna) the Wrathful (Rudra) the Heroic (Vira) the Terrible (Bhayancdca) the Marvellous (Adbhuta) and the Quietistic (Sheinta).

The artless sub-divided into (i) the heroine unconscious of the approach of her youth and (ii) the girl conscious of the development of her allurements. [...] 0 fool of a Moon ! thou art not ashamed of causing so much pain to the poor girl separated from her husband!
