bhibatsa

bhibatsa (disgust)

One of the Navarasa's in Dance. I perceive this as the most intense of many emotions.


Very often we come across situations where in goodness is overshadowed by dominance of mediocrity, irritably so. Our voices raise to fall upon deaf ears, or if you get a little lucky, they resonate in vacuum. I've heard the cry of many 'unknowns', seen the colours of their disgust, learnt that indifference is the only treatment meted out to them. 'bhibatsa' is an outpour of disgust, on anything or anyone remotely 'ugly' in form.

மூன்று கால் முயலொன்று கண்டேன்
அது, திக்கி திசைமாறி சாவிறுபதை கண்டேன்.

காப்பாற்ற துடித்ததென் நெஞ்சம், அப்போது
கை தட்டி கரம் கொட்டி சிரிப்பதன் சத்தம்.

ஷண்டாலன் பூமி இது;
சங்கே முழங்கு.
சாக்கடை நதி நடுவே - யாரோ?
சந்தண சிரங்கு !

Nive,

I am not sure whether I am correct here.

Your free flow of thoughts has been put up here without any additon/deletion/modification. You tried to pendown that fraction of thoughts by ctrl+c'ed in mind and ctrl+v'ed here. If some one who is gud at mind reading has happened to read posts of this kind continuosly can immediately guess what kind of thoughts u will be receiving it quite offenly n how u r taking it up :)..

Your tried to show a kind of difference which is always appreciable and why this has the title as "Bhibatsa" ?!

As always,Its again a Gud Nive :)

@ Sathia:

This perhaps is not a ctrl c ctrl v of a moments thoughts. Its more of an accumulated frustration. Towards everything unfair in this world.. one where the 'lone good soul' who has to struggle to even remain.

"kai thatti karam kotti siripadhan satham"...---> If different words of different meaning which may portray the high intensity of "bhibatsa" is put up here,readers could have understand easily....
