Treatment of Nature in Ode to a Nightingale and Ode to the West Wind (8x4=32)  Explain the theory of Rasa Bhatta Tauta on Rasa – In his work Kavya Kautuka, Bhatta Tauta says that a dramatic presentation is not a mere physical occurrence. The actor on stage is not an individual, but a character created by the writer. This is how the audience experiences the performance. This along with setting (stage setting) and music contribute to the enjoyment of the play (realization of Rasa). The memories, past experiences and associations of the viewer also play a role in this experience. This is known as Rasasvadana, Camatkara (read as chamatkara) or Carvana (read charvana). Alaukika – Universalization happens at two levels. The work of art presents before us a situation and corresponding emotions which are universal in nature. Similarly the effect of this representation is also universal in nature. By universalization we mean that they do not refer to a particular individual or a particular incident. They represent all the people and their affairs. Each individual comes to the performance with his own experiences, feelings etc. which also play a role in his understanding and enjoyment of the play. This element of going beyond the particular and the individual to general and universal is known as Alaukika. Dhvani – Anandhavardhana combines Rasa theory with his Dhvani theory. Dhvani is the technique of expression, while Rasa is the effect. It is through Dhvani that emotion is expressed through suggestion and it gives charm to the work of art. Thus Dhvani is essential for the realization of Rasa.
