Aesthetic relish or rasa is produced on the part of
the reader or observer from observing a work of art. Rasa concerns itself with
various emotions, their depiction, inference and transmission through a work of
art. Rasa asserts that literature is essentially about life and its emotions.
The word rasa is derived from the word ‘rasah’ which means juice, taste,
flavour or relish. The fruit extract is referred to as ‘rasa,’ which is the
essence of it, the ultimate flavour of it. A writer matures as a better writer
if the writer can formulate aesthetic experience, and the emotion that such
work produces is known as rasa. The Oath of the Vayuputras was published in
2013. It is the final novel of the trilogy. The paper analyses the dominance of
Raudra and Vira rasas in the novel.
