दुखसंवेदनायैव गमे चैतन्यमाद्दित्म् । Bhavabhūti¹ Poetry is the outcome of the desire to see with the mind what the eye sees and with the eye what the mind imagines Rabindranath. 2 Kālidāsa commences his depiction of 'Ajavilapa' in the Raghuvamsa with this very impressive stanza- विललाप स बागद्गदं सहजामप्यपहाय धीरताम् | अभितोऽपि मार्दव भजते केव

बेटाई संस्कृत काव्य में विप्रलम्भ शृंगार की विवेचना करते हैं। रघुवंश के अजविलाप तथा भवभूति की 'दुःखसंवेदनायैव' उक्ति से आरम्भ करके वे कहते हैं कि शृंगार को गहराई संयोग से नहीं, वियोग से मिलती है, और करुण रस का मूल भी यही वियोग-वेदना है। Betai studies vipralambha, love in separation, as the ground of pathos in Sanskrit poetry. Opening from Aja's lament in the Raghuvaṃśa and Bhavabhūti's line that consciousness exists to feel sorrow, he argues that separation, not union, gives śṛṅgāra its depth and its hold on the reader.
