In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Eagerness is associated with Patāka-hasta: one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as ṃyܰٲٲ), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, 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 indicates dhvaja in Sanskrit which means flag or banner. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa in 貹첹-hasta, all the fingers are straightened and thumb is bent. Abhinavagupta comments in the Abhinavabhāratī that this hand posture is looked like a flag and that is why it is named as 貹첹. The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa states that the dancer uses the 貹첹-hasta to obstruct i.e., strike or beat in a Dance performance. Moreover, to show the blowing of wind and raining, this hand posture is used in Dance. Sometimes eagerness is also denoted with this hand posture.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, 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).
