rasa: masculine vocative singular stem: rasa <ref>Sanskrit Dictionary. Accessed November 9, 2022. https://sanskritdictionary.com/?q=rasa</ref>
As per “Dhatuvritti, 316” the root √rasaderives the meaning “āsvādanasnehanayoḥ (रसआस्वादनस्नेहनयोः।रसयति।रसतिइतिअपिशपि।)” <ref>रस (rasa) - KST (Online Sanskrit Dictionary). Accessed November 9, 2022.<br/>https://kosha.sanskrit.today/word/sa/rasa/cōnv̮back('f’)oot̮krm̮1395̮05</ref> which may be broadly understood in the following manner: The Sanskrit “rasa” is composed of two roots “ra” means “giving” “bestowing” “granting” “yielding” and “sa” means “wisdom” “knowledge” “paradise”. Together these roots create “rasa” meaning “to grant knowledge,” “to yield happiness,” “to bestow paradise,” all of which are the “essence” of life, so the Sanskrit dictionary defines “rasa” as “essence”.
This article deals with the aspect of rasa as taste/flavor.
