RAUDRA AND VIRA RASAS IN THE OATH OF THE VAYUPUTRAS

Authors:

Jagdish Joshi, Saurabh Vaishnav

Abstract:

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.
