: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)岵Ի (नागबन्�) is one of the six divisions of ٳԲ첹, one of the nine ṇḍ (postures of the feet) which in turn represents one of the four “movements of the feet� (岹) according to the Abhinayadarpaṇa. 岵Ի-ٳԲ첹 (the standing posture in which the two legs are intertwined and the two hands are likewise twisted) is found in images but there is no label or term given for that pose in iconography. In a few 첹ṇa of Śiva, this posture of the feet is found.
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)岵Ի (नागबन्�) refers to one of the twenty-four ղٲ (“movements of the arm�), discussed in Kallinātha’s commentary on Saṅgistaratnākara of Śārṅgadeva (1953: Vol. IV: p.105).—Kallinātha says that in spite of Śārṅgadeva not having mentioned these, he will describe the ٲ which have been expounded by Kohala. He proceeds to give a quotation of Kohala from the work Saṅgītameru which gives the definitions of twenty four kara-ٲ. In addition to these ٲ another set of seven have also been mentioned. These are [for example, 岵Ի] [...] Kohala says that in the case of these ٲ, their names themselves make their ṣaṇa clear and therefore he has mentioned only their names.

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).
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: De Gruyter: Himalayan Anthropology: The Indo-Tibetan Interface岵Ի (नागबन्�) refers to the “divine serpent’s flask� and forms part of the ceremonial circle of the 첹ś-ū (during which the projected divinity descends into the 첹ś—flask), according to William Stablein’s A Descriptive Analysis of the Content of Nepalese Buddhist Pujas as a Medical-Cultural System (with References to Tibetan Parallels).—T tshog shin (sacred tree) is also mentally visualized.—The ṃk貹 [intention] of the ū becomes an 屹Բ [call] for the projected divinity to descend in the 첹ś [flask]. [...] The Ceremonial Circle of the 첹śū consists of, e.g., [...] (6) 岵Ի-ṇḍ [of the divine serpent’s flask]]. [...]

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
