Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)

Day (and Night) are associated with S奴cy腻syahasta: one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as 补蝉补峁儁耻办迟补丑补蝉迟补蝉), according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur腻峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擳he word 蝉奴肠墨 means a tool which is used for stitching. It refers to the needle. [...] The Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur腻峁嘺 says that the natural phenomenon like day and night are denoted with this hand posture. It is also used to denote the eyes of 艢akra and Mahe艣a.

context information

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).

Shilpashastra (iconography)

: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)

Day and Night refers to classes of natural objects and phenomenon which follows specific guidelines in the tradition of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur腻峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擣rom the ancient period till today, natural phenomenon [like day and night, ...] always seem to inspire the artist to make beautiful creations. Even the sages in the Vedic period used to see the surroundings and could visualise everything as portraits in the mind. The Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur腻峁嘺 bears an elaborate description on the process of making the picture of some natural objects and phenomenon, e.g., Day and Night. Thus, the book addresses various elements of nature, such as day and night, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.

context information

Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣ilpa艣腻stra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

The Day can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Dina, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V腻madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Remaining in absorption for the [following] times; moments, breaths, Palas, N腻岣嵞玸, Praharas, days (dina), months and years, [the Yogin] then goes to the highest reality. [...]鈥�.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as 腻sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
