Acording to the NÄá¹­yaÅ›Ästra 1.46-51, after BrahmÄ asked Bharata for materials necessary for the Graceful Style (°ì²¹¾±Å›¾±°ìÄ«: a type of performance, or prayoga), Bharata answered “This Style cannot be practised properly by men except with the help of womenâ€�. Therefore, BrahmÄ created with his mind several apsaras (celestial nymphs), such as ³Õ¾±»å²¹²µ»å³óÄå, who were skillful in embellishing the drama.
