This page relates 鈥楧uti in Virahotkanthita鈥� of the study dealing with the Ashta-Nayikas鈥攁 classification of eight kinds of 鈥淗eroines鈥� representing the eight emotional states (avastha) employed in the classical Indian dance and performing arts (otherwise known as Natya Shastra). These Ashtanayikas reflect the eight types of romantic relationships and have hence formed the expressive subject of many classical painting, poems and dramatic plays.

Examples of the 顿奴迟墨鈥檚 role in a 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻 character of woman heroine:

痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻 is always described as a 苍腻测颈办腻 in extreme Viraha. It is often said "describing her position or plight'' is one of her activities. But what is not mentioned is sending a 顿奴迟墨 with a message to her lover to describe the 苍腻测颈办腻's situation and requesting him to come and unite with her. Many poetic materials supporting the 顿奴迟墨鈥檚 role in a 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻 are found.

Nindati candana, the eighth 础峁ａ弓补辫补诲墨 is a classic example. Here, the 顿奴迟颈 describes the 苍腻测颈办腻's pangs of separation.

Search for him, bring him without being haughty, singing the song that he desires.

This is a conversation between the 苍腻测颈办腻 and her Sakhi. Here the 苍腻测颈办腻 requests the sakhi to go and meet Pazhani Aandavar Muruga Peruman and tell him about her anxiety. She reprimands the sakhi for not accepting her request. She goes on to describe her plight -padari varugudu -I am anxious she complains about the 惭补苍尘补迟丑补产腻峁嘺. She recollects the good times 笔奴谤惫补 Sambhoga. She advises the sakhi about the likings of the hero; so that she can convey the message as per his liking. All these qualities indicate a 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻, the 苍腻测颈办腻 whose viraha is boundless.

Here it might be argued that this kind of sending a message is part of an 础产丑颈蝉腻谤颈办腻.

But, the difference is that an 础产丑颈蝉腻谤颈办腻 though captivated by Manmatha has a happy disposition as she is expectant of union, where as the 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻 is filled with viraha. She is sad and anxious and sends her friend as the final resort to her condition.

Thus, keeping in mind, the large amount of works available on this line, 鈥�顿奴迟墨笔谤别峁峁嘺鈥� sending of a 顿奴迟颈, must be added as one of 痴颈谤补丑辞迟办补峁囜弓丑颈迟腻鈥檚 major attributes.
