: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)The number Three is associated with Tripatāka-hasta: one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as ṃyܰٲٲ), according to the վṣṇܻdzٳٲܰṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The word ٰ貹첹 itself identifies the importance of the number three. According to the վṣṇܻdzٳٲܰṇa in ٰ貹첹hasta, three fingures should be straightened in a 貹첹ٲ where the ring finger is bent. Abhinavagupta also keeps his view point in the same way
