Sahrdaya is presented as the ideal reader or sensitive spectator who profoundly experiences rasa, including the capacity to feel worldly pain in tragedy yet ultimately gain aesthetic pleasure. The unit connects rasa theory (Bharata, Bhattanayaka, Abhinavagupta, Anandvardhana) to how literature evokes emotion.

Sahrdaya is the concept of an ideal reader, sensitive spectator or connoisseur who experiences different rasas of literary compositions profoundly. Sahrdaya experiences worldly pain in reading or watching tragedy but ultimately, he enjoys the aesthetic pleasure of the literary works.  \nThe other objective of the unit is to understand the ideas of Samajika and Sadharanikarana (generalization or universalization.) It is a process of attaining mutual understanding, commonness or oneness among people. We shall discuss these concepts in detail in this unit  \nIntroduction  \nThe theory of Rasa by Bharata is one of the greatest milestones in Sanskrit poetics. According to rasa theory the function of literature is to evoke emotions. Bhattanayaka who was a great exponent of rasa theory said that the doctrine of rasa distinguishes literary work from other forms. In poetry words and meaning together produce Rasa. Abhinavagupta believed that poetry lives by Rasa alone. Anandvardhana the theorist of Dhvani School said that alamkaras are external embellishments of the body of poetry the soul of poetry is Rasa the aesthetic relish.  \nIn Indian Poetics, the reader has a very exalted position. He is the sahrdaya – one with a kindred and sensitive heart. It is the sahrdaya in whom the outpouring of the poet‟s heart finds its fulfillment  \nThe poet and sahrdaya are the two aspects of a single entity called art. Sarasvatattva (truth of poetry) is a common entity that dwells both in the poet and sahrdaya. There is abheda (identity) between kavi sahrdaya and the bhavak sahrdaya. The kavi is a sahrdaya with a difference and Sahrdaya is a kavi with a difference. Rajshekhar distinguishes between karayatri pratibha (creative imagination) and bhavayitri pratibha (response imagiration)  \nBharata has enumerated forty nine bhavas. It is about the range of human experiences Sthayibhavas are stable and endure longer. T0hey spring from stronger causes and almost everyone experiences them. They are frequently experienced. In life, the viewer or reader experiences rasa through the attachment of his mind to the sthayibhavas. When the viewer sees the performance on the stage, he experiences „Rasa‟ that depends upon his empathy and success of the dramas performance or expression of poetry Bharata says that through the amalgamation of vibhava, anubhava and sancharibhava, rasa is manifested.  \nAbhinavagupta gives reference of the Karuna Rasa ( Compassion ) in the hearts of the Samajikas (participant-viewer) These participant viewers experience or feel grief as presented by the performer or actor Vibhavas are like separation from dear one's, death of ones loved ones, misfortune etc are the source of grief (soka) . The concept of samajika is that of participant viewer whose sthayibhavas are manifested. Abhinavagupta holds thatsthayibhavas reside in human mind (chitta) in the form of vasanas (Desirers) that pass on from generation to generation of mankind. In a child‟s mind, such desires are not developed extensively and therefore they cannot experience Rasa  \nSadharanikarana refers to commonness, oneness, universalization or generalization. It is a model of communication. It is the representation of communication process from Indian  \nperspective. It is a process of attaining mutual understanding, commonness or oneness among people. Sahrdayata is the core concept upon which the concept Sadharanikarana is based.  \nWhen senders and receivers accomplish the process of sadharnikarana they attain sahrdayata. When actor and audience become sahrdayas, they experience oneness and unity of feelings. Here the process results in Sadharanikarana. Sahrdayata is the state of commonality, mutual understanding and oneness. It can also be defined as “the conversion of one‟s feeling and attaining the feeling of others.”  \nThe Co","cbCaibAkfbbRDrxZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibAkfbbRDrxZ","pdf",240407,"English","# Objectives\n## Introduction\n## Sahrdaya and its significance\n## Samajika and participant-viewer\n## Sadharanikarana and universalization","[{\"question\":\"What is the concept of Sahrdaya in the unit?\",\"answer\":\"Sahrdaya is the ideal reader or sensitive spectator who experiences different rasas deeply.
