Abhinavagupta defines ṅg (अङ्गहा�) and explains it as the process of moving the limbs from one place to another. Because it is loved and practiced by Hara (Śiva), the shadow of his name is incorporated in the term ṅg. It must be understood as the twisting and bending of the limbs in a graceful manner

: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)

ṅg (अङ्गहा�) or “dance-sequence� is a combination of Karaṇas (“dance-movements�), according to the Nṛttabhāga of Vema Bhūpāla’s Saṅgītacintāmaṇi and the Saṅgītaratnākara of Śārṅgadeva.—Accordingly: “The graceful movement of the limbs to the proper places, composed of groups of ṛk (combinations of two 첹ṇa), is called ṅg [i.e., the or movement of ṅg]. Or it is explained that this [particular] movement pertains to Hara, [Lord Śiva], and is demonstrated with the limbs�.
