In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: N膩峁瓂a-艣膩stra颁补办谤补惫腻濒补 (啶氞啷嵿ぐ啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to one of the ten kinds of yamaka, according to N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra chapter 17. Yamaka is one of the four 鈥渇igures of speech鈥� (补濒补峁僰腻谤补), used when composing dramatic compositions (办腻惫测补).
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya鈥攖heatrics, 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).
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara颁补办谤补惫腻濒补 (啶氞啷嵿ぐ啶掂ぞ啶�) is the name of a Vidy膩dhara who fought on 艢ruta艣arman鈥檚 side but was slain by Nirgh膩ta, who participated in the war against S奴ryaprabha, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 47. Accordingly: 鈥�... when King Nirgh膩ta saw that [the slaying of Har峁, Pram膩tha, Ka峁卥a峁璦, and Vi艣膩la, Prac补峁囜笉a and A峁卥urin], he was wroth, and attacked 颁补办谤补惫腻濒补, and those two, 颁补办谤补惫腻濒补 and Nirgh膩ta, fought for a long time, and at last they broke one another鈥檚 chariots to pieces and so became infantry soldiers, and the two, rushing furiously together, armed with sword and discus, cleft with sword-strokes one another鈥檚 heads and fell dead on the earth鈥�.
The story of 颁补办谤补惫腻濒补 was narrated by the Vidy膩dhara king Vajraprabha to prince Narav膩hanadatta in order to relate how 鈥淪奴ryaprabha, being a man, obtain of old time the sovereignty over the Vidy膩dharas鈥�.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 颁补办谤补惫腻濒补, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics颁补办谤补惫腻濒补 (啶氞啷嵿ぐ啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to the 鈥渃yclic method鈥�, according to the principles of B墨jag补峁噄ta (鈥渁lgebra鈥� or 鈥榮cience of calculation鈥�), according to G补峁噄ta-艣膩stra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.鈥擝h膩skara II succeeded in evolving a very simple and elegant method by means of which one can derive an auxiliary equation having the required interpolator 卤 1, 卤 2 or 卤 4, simultaneously with its two integral roots, from another auxiliary equation empirically formed with any simple integral value of the interpolator, positive or negative. This method is called by the technical name 肠补办谤补惫腻濒补 or the 鈥渃yclic method鈥�.鈥擳he Sanskrit word 肠补办谤补惫腻濒补 means 鈥渃ircle鈥�, especially 鈥渉orizon鈥�. The method is so called, observes S奴ryad膩sa, because it proceeds as in a circle, the same set of operations being applied again and again in a continuous round.
Bh膩skara II in the B墨jag补峁噄ta: 鈥淏y this method, there will appear two integral roots corresponding to an equation with 卤 1, 卤 2 or 卤 4 interpolator.鈥擺...] Considering the lesser root, greater root and interpolator (of a square-nature) as the dividend, addend and divisor (respectively of a pulveriser), the (indeterminate) multiplier of it should be so taken as will make the residue of the 辫谤补办峁泃颈 diminished by the square of that multiplier or the latter minus the 辫谤补办峁泃颈 (as the case may be) the least. That residue divided by the (original) interpolator is the interpolator (of a new square-nature) 4 it should be reversed in sign in case of sub- traction from the 辫谤补办峁泃颈. The quotient corresponding to that value of the multiplier is the (new) lesser root ; thence the greater root. The same process should be followed repeatedly putting aside (each time) the previous roots and the interpolator. This process is called 肠补办谤补惫腻濒补 (or the 鈥楥yclic Method鈥�). By this method, there will appear two integral roots corresponding to an equation with 卤 1, 卤 2 or 卤 4 as interpolator. In order to derive integral roots corresponding to an equation with the additive unity from those of the- equation with the interpolator 卤 2 or 卤 4 the Principle of Composition (should be applied)鈥�.
Note: The original text is [肠补办谤补惫腻濒补mida峁� jagu岣�]. The commentator K峁涐梗峁嘺 explains [膩c膩ry膩 etadg补峁噄ta峁� 肠补办谤补惫腻濒补miti jagu岣�] or 鈥淭he learned professors call this method of calculation the 肠补办谤补惫腻濒补鈥�. So Bh膩峁ara II appears to have taken the Cyclic Method from earlier writers. But it is not found in any work anterior to him so far known.
Ganita (啶椸ぃ啶苦い) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
