Some used to be propagated in ancient India. No nation can flourish without its care for its material prosperity. All this technique and training and their systematic and successful teaching and transmission were of equal importance.

Accordingly, “the word 屹 is used for the sake of clear knowledge. It is synonymous with ṇa, nimitta and hetu. As Words, Gestures and Representation of the Sattva are 屹ٱ (determined) by this, it is called 屹 (Determinant). Vibhāvita also means the same thing as ñٲ (clearly known). As many things are 屹ⲹٱ (determined) by this through Words, Gestures and the Representation of the Sattva, it is named 屹 (ٱٱԲԳ)�.
: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)վ屹 (विभा�, “determinant�) refers to one of the three main types of 屹 (“psychological states of the mind�) as used within the classical tradition of Indian dance and performance, also known as Bharatanatyam.—屹� infuses the meaning of the play into the hearts of the spectators.

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.

[...] The next year is known as Vibhava the third as Śukla, the fourth as Pramoda, and the fifth as Prajāpati: in each of these years mankind will be happier than in the next preceding year. In the same four years there will be good growth of the Śālī crop, of sugarcane, of barley and other crops in the land; mankind will be freed from all fears and they will live at peace, in happiness and without the vices of the Kaliyuga�.
: The effect of Samvatsaras: SatvargasVibhava (विभव) refers to the second ṃvٲ (“jovian year)� in Vedic astrology.—The native born in the �samvatsara� of �vibhava� enjoys things which are meant to be consumed (foods, drinks etc.) is extremely beautiful, strong and intelligent, knows the mysteries of arts, is like a king in his family (the chief of the family), good mannered, cultured and very learned.
According with Jataka Parijata, the person born in the year vbhava (1988-1989 AD) will be lustful, pure, constantly cheerful and will have prodigious wealth, relatives, learning and fame.

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaվ屹 (विभा�) refers to one of the four ingredients of rasa.—վ屹� is the cause of tasting rati, and it has two divisions: Բ (the support) and ܻī貹Բ (the awakening stimulus). Ālambana also has two divisions, namely, the object (ṣaⲹ) and the abode (śⲹ). The śⲹ of rati is the person in whom rati exists, while the ṣaⲹ of rati is the person towards whom rati is directed. Kṛṣṇa’s bhaktas are the śⲹ of rati because they have rati in their hearts, whereas Kṛṣṇa is the ṣaⲹ of rati, because rati is directed towards Him.
The Գܲ屹s that arouse and nourish the 屹s then spread throughout the body in the form of ܻ. As soon as the ٳī屹 in the heart is stimulated by the 屹, Գܲ屹 begins its function as another action of the heart. Thus Գܲ屹 is a separate individual ingredient.
: Pure Bhakti: Bhajana-rahasya - 2nd Editionվ屹 (विभा�) refers to:—Is defined in پ-峾ṛt-Ի (2.1.15) as follows: “That in which rati is tasted (Բ) and that cause by which rati is tasted (ܻī貹Բ) is called 屹.�. (cf. Glossary page from Bhajana-Rahasya).
: Pure Bhakti: Arcana-dipika - 3rd EditionVibhava (विभव) is the second of sixty years (ṃvٲ) in the Vedic lunar calendar according to the Arcana-dīpikā by Vāmana Mahārāja (cf. Appendix).—Accordingl, There are sixty different names for each year in the Vedic lunar calendar, which begins on the new moon day (Amāvasyā) after the appearance day of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu (Gaura-pūrṇimā), in February or March. The Vedic year [viz., Vibhava], therefore, does not correspond exactly with the Christian solar calendar year.

Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).

These various forms of “Viśākharūpa� are as the branches of a tree—and the six ṇa which characterize the source also pervade the weapons, persons, etc., of the many forms (26-37). [...]

These two types of 屹s are the cause of the manifestation of rasa.
According to Abhinavagupta, the ٳ⾱屹 residing in a subdued form in the spectators or readers becomes aroused, being nourished by the 屹s, Գܲ屹s etc. transforms into rasa. The audience gets delighted with a continuous feeling of joy, which is known as ṇ� or rasa.
