anurasa: what the term means and how it is translated

Charaka SamhitaSutrasthana 26:Standard 26.28 (carakasamhitaonline ||२८||); Kaviratna prints 43 AFTER the passage, i.e., fifteen AHEAD of standard here because he numbers prose paragraphs individually · checked against the source

That taste which becomes manifest, of a dry or wet object, at the outset or at the end, is called its (true) taste. That taste which becomes perceptible otherwise or in succession is called the subordinate or unmanifest taste. There is, however nothing in such subordinate or unmanifest taste that can exclude it from the six original or independent Tastes, for there is no seventh taste as already explained.

The defining verse. Sanskrit as retrieved: व्यक्तः शुष्कस्य चादौ च रसो द्रव्यस्य लक्ष्यते| विपर्ययेणानुरसो रसो नास्ति हि सप्तमः||२८|| (https://www.carakasamhitaonline.com/index.php/Atreyabhadrakapyiya_Adhyaya). Kaviratna's footnote (translator's note, not text): 'Literally rendered, the verse, therefore, is this : "of a dry object or (the same when wet), at the outset or (at the end), that taste which is manifest, is (truly) the taste : the taste that is perceptible otherwise is the subordinate taste." Chakrapani goes on to explain : take Piper longum ; when drenched or soaked in water, its taste is sweet ; when dry, it is Pungent. The latter is its taste ; take dried grapes ; when dry, they are sweet ; when drenched, they are sweet. There being no difference, Sweet is its taste. Take any of the liquids, say, kanjika or sour gruel of rice. That taste which becomes perceptible at the outset is its true taste. That which is perceived afterwards is its subordinate taste.'

Without doubt, in their original refuge the unmanifest existence (or presence) of the Tastes. So also in their combinations where particular ones predominate. So too in objects in which are combinations (of the Tastes) with particular ones predominating.

First occurrence of anurasa in the chapter: tastes exist unmanifest (avyaktībhāva) in their prakṛti (water), in an anurasa, and in a substance possessing an anurasa. Sanskrit as retrieved: अव्यक्तीभावस्तु खलु रसानां प्रकृतौ भवत्यनुरसेऽनुरससमन्विते वा द्रव्ये. Kaviratna's footnote: 'The mention, in the text, of 'Anurasa-samanvite dravye' after that of 'Anurase' seems to be superfluous, unless it be the intention of the Rishi to refer to the abstract and the concrete separately. — T.' OCR quote has a damaged word ('tA unm^fest') normalised here as 'the unmanifest'.
