sanskrit

Astonishment (vismaya) is created by Determinants such as illusion, magic, extraordinary feats of men, great excellence in painting, art-works in parchment and the like. It is to be represented on the stage by Consequents such as wide opening of the eyes, looking without winking of the eyes, [much] movement of the eyebrows, horripilation, moving the head to and fro, the cry of “well done,” “well done,” and the like. On this point there is a Śloka: 27. Astonishment arising from joy due to extraordinary acts should be represented by means such as joy, tears, fainting and the like.
