This song, appropriate for both music and dance, highlights dasha rasas (10 predominant emotions) as opposed to the conventional nava (9) rasas by separating shoka (sorrow) from karuna (compassion) as has been done for centuries. The author postulates that (someone’s) shoka can (but need not) inspire karuna in another
