Vaishnava (啶掂啶粪啶｀さ, vai峁ａ箛ava) or vaishnavism (vai峁ａ箛avism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (鈥榯en avatars of Vishnu鈥�).
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: N膩峁瓂a-艣膩stra膧尘耻办丑补 (啶嗋ぎ啷佮, 鈥渢he introduction鈥�) refers to one of the four varieties of the verbal style (产丑腻谤补迟墨), according to the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra chapter 22. Bh膩rat墨 represents one of the four styles (惫峁泃迟颈) employed in a dramatic production. Accordingly, 鈥渢hat part of a play where an actress, the jester or the assistant has a talk with the director on some relevant topic, and they use interesting words or adopt any type of the 惫墨迟丑墨 or talk in any other way, is called the introduction (腻尘耻办丑补) or the prologue (辫谤补蝉迟腻惫补苍腻) by some鈥�.
The five varieties (lit. elements) of the introduction (腻尘耻办丑补) are as follows:
- the accidental interpretation (耻诲驳丑腻迟测补办补),
- the opening of the story (办补迟丑辞诲驳丑腻迟腻),
- the particular presentation (辫谤补测辞驳腻迟颈艣补测补),
- the personal business, (辫谤补惫峁泃迟补办补),
- the transference (avalagita).
膧尘耻办丑补 (啶嗋ぎ啷佮) or Mukha refers to the 鈥渂eginning of the Drama鈥�, according to the S膩hityadarpa峁嘺.鈥擳he Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 says that at the very beginning of the Sanskrit drama, 辫谤补惫别艣补办补 i.e., the introducer should introduce the plot of the drama that has been continuing for many days and this narration must be very brief. In the S膩hityadarpa峁嘺 also, the description of those incidents which have already been happened are suggested in the very beginning of the Drama and the technical term of this part of a Drama is known as mukha or 腻尘耻办丑补.
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya鈥攖heatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
