Hint:

Examples of Sanchari Bhavas: \[ \text{Chinta} = \text{Anxiety} \] \[ \text{Moha} = \text{Delusion} \] \[ \text{Vishada} = \text{Despair} \] \[ \text{Chapalata} = \text{Restlessness} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
In Indian aesthetics and the Natyashastra, Sanchari Bhavas (also called Vyabhichari Bhavas) are transitory emotional states that support and strengthen the permanent emotions (Sthayi Bhavas) in the creation of Rasa. These emotional states are temporary and continuously change according to dramatic situations.

Step 1: Identify the Sanchari Bhavas.
\[ \text{Chinta} \] meaning anxiety or worry, is a Sanchari Bhava. \[ \text{Moha} \] meaning delusion or confusion, is also a Sanchari Bhava. \[ \text{Vishada} \] meaning despair or sadness, belongs to the Sanchari Bhavas. \[ \text{Chapalata} \] meaning restlessness or fickleness, is another Sanchari Bhava. Thus: \[ A,\ B,\ D,\ E \] are Sanchari Bhavas.

Step 2: Identify the term that is not a Sanchari Bhava.
\[ \text{Vaivarnya} \] refers to change of color or pallor and is generally associated with: \[ \text{Sattvika Bhavas} \] Thus: \[ C \] is excluded.

Step 3: Select the correct combination.
The correct set is: \[ A,\ B,\ D,\ E \]

Step 4: Compare with the given options.
Among the given choices: \[ (A)\ A,B,C,D \] \[ (B)\ A,B,D,E \] \[ (C)\ A,C,E,B \] \[ (D)\ B,C,E,D \] the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A,B,D,E} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(B)}} \]
