sanskrit

Recollection (smṛti) is remembering every condition of happiness and misery. It is caused by Determinants such as health, troubled night, disturbed sleep, seeing parallels, having an example, thinking, constant practice and the like. It is to be represented on the stage by Consequents such as nodding of the head, looking down, raising up the eyebrows and the like. On this point there is a Ślokā and an Āryā: 54. One is said to be recollecting something when one remembers past happiness and misery which were either conceived in mind or did actually occur and was forgotten.
