Joy, Humour - we can laugh by being happy.
Orchestra pianissimo major chord, twittering birds, crowd of people laughing, happy sigh, sustained synth tone
Adbhuta
Mainly Wonder - rasas.info says "When we understand that there are things that we do not understand, it makes life beautiful and exciting." The related ideas include curiosity and astonishment.
Windows 95 Startup sound, Major 9 Chord, Reverbed sigh, lush digital synth pad, rising shepherd tones, shiny FM tones
Veera
Courage also determination, pride, concentration. Interesting: Talking about your powers will reduce them, also courage does not mean independance.
Viking metal riff, V-I in a minor key, cello solo within an orchestra, solo military trumpet,
Karuna
Sadness, pity and compassion. The aim is to try to feel a less self-centred sadness and have pity for others.
Minor 7 chord, Cry of a single bird/any dying animal, a constantly evolving noise with unsettled filter sweeps which appears to be unable to resolve
Krodha
Anger.
Distorted sounds eg guitar/drums, diminished chord, growl, metal whack, grinding noises, white noise swell
Bhibasta
Disgust
Loosely distorted flapping guitar, clipped recording, hihats, sounds of vomiting, spitting, violin bowed incorrectly, untuned year 8 band, very bright low analog synth tone
Bhayanaka
Fear and worry, nervousness, jealousy etc.
Raised 7 in melodic minor scale moving up to 1, listening to the radio when it's almost tuned to a station and you can only hear unrecognisable voices, whimpering animals, creaking of doors/any creaking, breathing
Shoka
Grief, remorse, sorrow, misery
Quiet minor flute melody, quiet swell of diminished triad, whispers that you can't quite make out, radio white noise (the non-scary kind)
Shanta
Peace. Also: calmness, exhaustion. Sounds like you get there by obtaining the things you want as well as repaying your debts to society and thus making everything harmonious and chilled.
Root position tonic triad with octave below, single analog synth bass note, soft filtered characterful white noise, jungle ambience, cat purr, wind in trees, sigh
I've also come across Raudra - anger, shringara - love, vibhatsya - disgust.
