Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

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

岵屹ⲹ (रागकाव्य) refers to one of the ten Deśī-varieties of ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ, according to the Saṅgītacintāmaṇi of King Vīranārāyaṇa (Vema)—[Cf. M. R. Kavi’s Bharatakośa, p. 841].—Vema says that he has followed the path shown by Kohala and Mataṅga and has also followed current local traditions. He defines the term deśī and then goes on to describe ten varieties of deśī-ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ. [For example, 岵屹ⲹ]. Having listed the ten ṛtⲹ-屹ⲹ, he then says these have been described by Kohala and that he (Vema) will explain each of them. The use of the term ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ instead of ܱ貹ū貹첹 is noteworthy.
