Introduction

The Number of Rasas is a classic study by V. Raghavan on one of the central debates in Indian aesthetics: the enumeration and classification of rasas. Drawing upon major Sanskrit sources, the author examines the historical development of rasa theory, the acceptance of Śānta-rasa, and the interpretations of leading aestheticians from Bharata to Abhinavagupta. The work remains an important contribution to the study of Sanskrit poetics and Indian aesthetic philosophy.
