Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraParyastaka (पर्यस्तक).—One of the 32 ṅg (major dance movement) mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 4. The instructions for this 貹ⲹٲ첹-ṅg is as follows, “observing Talapuṣpapuṭa, Apaviddha, and Varṭita Karaṇas, then taking up Pratyālīḍha Sthāna, then assuming Nikuṭṭaka, Ūrūdvṛtta, Ākṣipta, Uromaṇḍala, Nitamba, Karihasta, Kaṭicchinna, Karaṇas.�.
An ṅg represents a ‘major dance movement� and consists of a sequence of 첹ṇa (minor dance movements). A 첹ṇa combines ٳԲ (standing position), ī (foot and leg movement) and ṛtٲٲ (hands in dancing position).
