Hi ,

There are many translations in English--

Natyasastra by the Board of Scholars

Natysastra by Dr. Manmohan Ghosh

Natyashastra by Dr. N.P. Unni

There are some very interesting ones in Hindi aswell--

Natyashastra of Shri Babulal Shastri

The same by Dr. Parasnath Dwivedi ( also containing translation of Abhinavagupta's commentary)

As far as I know there are no net versions. You will need to purchase a copy or try a good (university) library that may have a copy.

Dear Rasika,
in
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6009414/Rasa- ... ll-To-Arms-
you have a 2003 dissertation of 146 pdf pages to download. It was valued at an
acknowledged university , the first three chapters deal with matters of natyashastra
ig. pp Natya Sastra 57Drama 59Bhavas and Rasas 60Interpretation of Rasa by Sivaite Mystical School 62Anandhavardhana's Dhavanyaloka 64Abhinavagupta's Abhinavabharati 65Various interpretations of Rasa the Sanskrit Literary Theory 66Obstacles to Rasa Realization 70

If Natyashastra ever goes online one may find it in any case at
http://www.scribd.com
http://www.gutenberg.org/

but it might take ages ?
