             Bharat detailed only eight raptures in Poetry and drama. However, with the time scholars added new formats of raptures if drama.

            Dr Shiva Nand also divided Garhwali Folk song and dance as per raptures of Shant (Soulful), Bhakti (devotional), Prakriti (geographical nature), Vatsalya and Prati vatsalya

             Soulful rapture is very near to Content emotion. In this rapture, the dramatist or performer shows the non affiliation to this materialistic world.

 Example of Soulful rapture in Garhwali folk song-dance (Jagar) is as follows -

                   शांत रस

दुन्या न मरी जाण , धरती अमर I

*****     ***** *****

धरणी रीटे सांपिंण , अगास रीटे शीणी  I

मणछ भगार लगौंदो, विपदा  भगवान् दीणी II

Xx           xx

मौत सबुकु औंद , आग स्ब्बुकू जळऔंद I

तिन कायर नि होण , सागर कु पाणि सागर मा समौंद   II
