Raudrarasa is very beautifully delineated in 惭耻诲谤腻谤腻办峁�a蝉补. While entering the stage at the very beginning of the drama, 颁腻峁嘺办测补 chants some verses expressing his anger to the people who are against Candragupta, and being furious warns them with his arrogant speeches thus鈥�

Cf.

nandakulak膩labhujag墨峁� kop膩nalabahulan墨ladh奴malat膩m/
ady膩pi badhyam膩n膩峁� 惫补诲丑测补岣� ko necchati 艣颈办丑腻峁� me//^[1]

And,

ulla峁単hayanmama samujjvalata岣� 辫谤补迟腻辫补峁� kopasya nandakulak膩nanadh奴maketo岣�/
蝉补诲测补岣� par膩tmaparim膩峁嘺vivekam奴岣峢a岣� ka岣� 艣膩labhena vidhin膩 labhat膩峁� 惫颈苍腻艣补峁�//^[2]

These are the upshot of the rage of 颁腻峁嘺办测补, even after the annihilation of the Nanda dynasty, whose fire of anger is still blazing with the insult done to him by the Nandas.

There is another striking example of Raudrarasa in the third act during the mock quarrel between 颁腻峁嘺办测补 and Candragupta.

颁腻峁嘺办测补 bursts with anger on Candragupta and says鈥�

鈥淢测 hand again runs to loosen the knot of hair though tied up-(Stamping on the ground with his foot) and this foot too rushes to enter into vow. Encompassed by death, you now inflame the fire of my wrath that was extinguished by the destruction of Nandas.鈥�^[3]

The act of stamping on the ground is one of the well-known 础苍耻产丑腻惫补 of Raudrarasa.^[4]

Hearing the above verse, Candragupta becomes frightened and compares 颁腻峁嘺办测补 with Rudra while dancing 迟腻峁囜笉补惫补苍峁泃测补 in the following way鈥�

鈥淗is ruddy eyes though dimmed by being washed by the clear water dropping from the eyelids rose up in anger flashed forth. As if it were fire, in which, the knitting of the eyebrows appeared like smoke, and it appears to me that the blow with the foot has been withstood by the earth somehow with a rude shock felt as if remembered Rudra acting the sentiment of wrath at his dances鈥�.^[5]

In this verse, the 膧lambanavibh膩va is Candragupta; praising 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 and saying that the fate only is the destroyer of the Nanda dynasty and not 颁腻峁嘺办测补 is the Udd墨panavibh膩ba; the ruddy eyes, dropping water from the eyelids in anger and blowing the earth with the foot etc. are the 补苍耻产丑腻惫补蝉; and obviously the anger of 颁腻峁嘺办测补 which is very nicely delineated by the 辫补诲腻驳丑腻迟补 like the act of Rudra while performing 迟腻峁囜笉补惫补 dance is cherishing the 蝉迟丑腻测颈产丑腻惫补 of the Raudrarasa herein.

In another place Malayaketu shows his anger to 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 when he finds that 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 is the main culprit of his father鈥檚 murder.

Cf.

There are very few verses of Raudrarasa in this drama, yet those are enough to prove the excellence of 痴颈艣腻办丑补诲补迟迟补.
