(marvellous sentiment) Raudra-rasa (Furious sentiment), and of
Bhay膩naka-rasa (Terrible sentiment).
The Vira-rasa is predominently developed in the poem. In the third
canto wherein Rukmi encounters K峁涐梗峁嘺; secondly in the seventh, eighth
and ninth cantos, fight takes place between Lord K峁涐梗峁嘺 and 艢aivajvara
艢iva as well as demon king B膩峁嘺 - in all these contexts the sentiments
of Vira, Raudra and Bhay膩naka are developed. The poet has delineated
艢峁涐箛g膩ra-rasa in the description of love-sports of K峁涐梗峁嘺-Rukmi峁嚹� in the
fourth canto; garden-sport, water-sport, love-sport of U峁Ｄ� and Aniruddha
occuring in the fifth canto; again when U峁Ｄ� and Aniruddha moving through
Antarik峁 to Dw膩rak膩 on Garu岣峚 expressed in the concluding portion of
the ninth canto. The reflection of the Adbhuta-rasa may be seen in the
description of milk-ocean, and of Lord N膩r膩ya峁嘺 in the first canto, and
in the description of Sudharma-hall in the second canto of the poem.
XI. Trivikrama Pandita's poetic language communicates his aesthetic
experience through the medium of his inimitable style. The poet implies
in his introductory verse" that the poem would run through P膩帽c膩li,
Vaidarbhi and Gau岣嵞珁膩 style. He employs these styles corresponding to
the nature of enumeration. The author has used P膩帽c膩l墨 and Vaidarbhi
styles in the descriptions of milk-ocean, love-sports, etc. which represent
prasadagu峁嘺. And he follows Gau岣嵞珁膩 style where Vira, Raudra and
Bhay膩naka sentiments have been developed in the poem.
XII. Being an ardent Vai峁ａ箛avite of M膩dhva tradition, Trivikrama Pa峁囜笉ita
has brought in Madhva's doctrinal aspects in the poem without defacing
the central theme. Verily, Trivikrama Pa峁囜笉ita's main purpose of
composing the U峁Ｄ乭ara峁嘺 is to uphold Lord Vis峁噓's over-all supremacy
