sanskrit

Apprehension (śaṅkā) has doubt as its basis, and it relates to women and persons of the inferior type. It is caused by Determinants such as theft, giving offence to the king and the like. It is to be represented on the stage by Consequents such as constantly looking on, hesitating movement (avakuṇṭhana), dryness of the mouth, licking the lips, change of facial colour, tremor, dry lips, loss of voice and the like. There is Śloka on these points: 33. Apprehension in the Terrible Sentiment is due to robbery, and the like, and in case of the Erotic Sentiment it is due to [a possible] deception on the part of the lover. Some authorities prescribe (lit. desire) in this case a concealment of appearance which is to be characterized by [adoption of] clever tricks and gestures.
