The happiness of virtuous reader and aesthetic expression in Sanskrit poetics
Paramita Dalai
The entire universe is fascinated by the creation of poets; everything is expressed as aesthetic creation because there is no right to change for God even what is not possible by the rules of nature. A flower could be bloomed in the sky throughout the poet's imagination, but if it is against nature, how is it possible to consider happiness? Happiness is directly related to the emotions of human beings and if we try to analyse the theories of Sanskrit poetics psychologically then it will be able to relate with happiness due to the prior existence of emotions like anger, fear, heroism etc. when the mind of poet full of imagination there can be seen some of the relations with reality and imaginations. But the question is what is the actual figure of aesthetic expression and how does it relate to human happiness? These kinds of questions will be solved in this paper. To build this hypothesis analytical methodology was followed by the researcher through the comparative study of Sanskrit poetics like rasa theory, aucitya theory etc. and some of the Western psychological theories.
