Dṛptarasa (दृप्तरस) or Dṛptarasa refers to the prevailing Sentiment of the Vyāyoga classification of Indian Drama, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa states that in Vyāyoga, actions of one day are showed through one hero. The sentiment should be dṛpta. Though dṛpta is not included in the list of nine rasas, the Abhinavabhāratī clarifies that dṛptarasa is endowed with ojaguṇa and it is originated from vīra and raudra sentiments
