चित्रतुरगन्यायः (citraturaganyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
When the actor acts on the stage, the ancilliaries, Vibhāvas, etc, are artificial and not real. The spectators, then, infer some permanent moods. (स्थायीभाव) and then enjoy some particular scenes. This is compared with a picture of the horse on which the maxim is based. The painted horse gives the idea of a real horse on the basis of the imagined ancilliaries. Real events are inferred by the spectators.
