Verse Text
yathā coktam –
pratīyamānāḥ prathamaṁ vibhāvādyās tu bhāgaśaḥ |
kgacchanto rasa-rūpatvaṁ militā yānty akhaṇḍatām ||83||
yathā marica-khaṇḍāder ekībhāve prapānake |
udbhāsaḥ kasyacit kvāpi vibhāvādes tathā rase ||84||
Translation
It has been said: First, the ingredients have distinct forms but when they mix and attain the form of rasa, they assume oneness. However, when pepper and sugar are mixed together in a drink one can still recognize pepper and sugar. Similarly, in rasa though vibhāva and the other elements become one entity in rasa, they can be recognized in a subtle form.
