निःश्वासे च नता कार्या नासिका नाट्ययोक्तृभिः । विच्छिन्नमन्दरुदिते सोच्छ्वासे च नता स्मृता ॥ १३४॥
"In the case of sighing, the nose should be depicted as bent by performers of drama. It is considered bent when breathing is interrupted, during soft crying, and with heavy breaths."
निर्वेगौत्सुक्यचिन्तासु मन्दा शोके च योजयेत् । तीव्रगन्धे विकृष्टां तौ रौद्रे वीरे तथैव च ॥ १३५॥
Mandā (gentle nose movement) should be used in states of indifference, eagerness, anxiety, and grief. Vikṛṣṭā (drawn-out nose movement) is to be applied in cases of intense smell, as well as in the Furious and Heroic Sentiments.
