Translation for 'Empathy' in Telugu

Hey all



was hoping someone might help me figure out what the best translation of the English word EMPATHY is in Telugu....?????



Have been looking around and keep coming up with these two posibilities:



sahanubhUti



and



bhAvanAdraSamu



but the meaning of empathy in english is quite specific. as are those terms. when would you use them, and can someone suggest other possible words to translate the phrase with. A definition of 'empathy' in English goes something like this 'an identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives' for more information check out: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/empathy



hoping someone can help me out.



please please.
