Verse Text
tad uktaṁ śrī-bharatena –
śaktir asti vibhāvādeḥ kāpi sādhāraṇī-kṛtau |
pramātā tad-abhedena svaṁ yayā pratipadyate || iti | ||103||
Translation
Bharata Muni has said: In the matter of identification, there is an indescribable power in vibhāva and the other elements, by which the audience becomes non-different from the characters depicted on the stage.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
According to Bharata Muni’s statement, there is naturally a difference, but there develops non-difference between oneself and the previous devotees by the śakti of vibhāva and other elements.
