The Sancari Bhavas or the Transitory States of Vira rasa in Natyashastra are Dhrti (fortitude), Mati (intellect), Garva (Pride), Vega (impetuosity), Augrya (ferocity), Amarsa (indignation), Smriti (Recollection), Romancha (horrification) and other akin features. In this connection there are two verses in the Arya metre which are traditionally handed down. Vira Rasa is produced through enthusiasm, perseverance, absence of grief, absence of surprise and freedom from delusion. The Vira Rasa should be depicted perfectly on the stage through statements such as scolding and censuring the wrong doers, display of bravery, vigour, heroism, enthusiasms, aggressiveness and exploits.
