: Shodhganga: The significance of the m奴la-beras (艣颈濒辫补)Praty膩li岣峢腻蝉补苍补 (啶啶班い啷嵿く啶距げ啶苦あ啶距じ啶�) is another name for 笔谤补迟测腻濒墨岣峢补, a type of posture (腻蝉补苍补) similar to the 腻濒墨岣峢补-尘补峁囜笉补濒补 in Bharatanatyam, as defined according to texts dealing with 艣颈濒辫补 (arts and crafs), known as 艣颈濒辫补艣膩stras. In the praty膩l墨岣峢腻蝉补苍补, the arms and legs of 腻濒墨岣峢补 have to be interchanged.
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣颈濒辫补艣膩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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara Samadhi笔谤补迟测腻濒墨岣峢腻蝉补苍补 (啶啶班い啷嵿く啶距げ啷�啶⑧ぞ啶膏え) is the counter posture to 腻濒墨岣峢补, according to the Sa峁僾arama峁囜笉ala of Abhay膩karagupta鈥檚 Ni峁annayog膩val墨, p. 45 and n. 145; (Cf. Cakrasa峁僾aratantra, Gray, David B., 2007).鈥擵ajrav膩r膩h墨 appears both with Cakrasa峁僾ara, and on her own, both as Vajrav膩r膩h墨 and Vajrayogin墨. [...] Vajrayogin墨 is in praty膩l墨岣峢腻蝉补苍补, the counter posture to 腻濒墨岣峢补, indicating an aggressive feminine Buddha nature, and is pouring the 补尘峁沬迟补 from her 办补辫腻濒补 into her mouth, savoring her own bliss. Vajrav膩r膩h墨 and Vajrayogin墨 are both red, nagn膩, "naked", have 尘耻办迟补办别艣腻, "loosened hair", one face and two arms, three eyes, holding a kartika in the right hand, and 办补辫腻濒补 in the left, a garland of fifty dried human skulls, five bone ornaments, a crown of five skulls, and hold a 办丑补峁璿腻峁単补. [...]. Both Vajrav膩r膩h墨 and Vajrayogin墨 have their own iconographic meanings with and without Cakrasa峁僾ara.
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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
