This is the method of catching elephants known as 鈥榩ursuit鈥欌��.
: Shodhganga: Portrayal of Animal Kingdom (Tiryaks) in Epics An Analytical study碍腻丑补濒补 (啶曕ぞ啶灌げ) refers to a 鈥渒ind of musical instrument, which sound is same as to cocks sound鈥� and is a synonym (another name) for the 碍耻办办耻峁璦, according to scientific texts such as the M峁沢apak峁艣腻stra (Mriga-pakshi-shastra) or 鈥渢he ancient Indian science of animals and birds鈥� by Hamsadeva, containing the varieties and descriptions of the animals and birds seen in the Sanskrit Epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Gitashastra (science of music)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (gita)碍腻丑补濒补 (啶曕ぞ啶灌げ) refers to a musical instrument classified as Su峁ra (鈥渢hose instruments which are filled with holes (and is hollow from inside)鈥�) which represents one of the four kinds of Instrumental Music, produced by an instrument (腻迟辞诲测补), according to the Sa峁僩墨taratn腻kara.鈥擳he 蝉耻峁谤补 kind of instrument is also known as wind instrument. According to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur腻峁嘺, instruments like flute etc. fall under the group of 蝉耻峁谤补 kind of instrument. In the Sa峁僩墨taratn腻kara, different kinds of wind instruments are mentioned, e.g., 办腻丑补濒补.
Gitashastra (啶椸啶むざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 驳墨迟补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)碍腻丑补濒补 (啶曕ぞ啶灌げ) is the name of an authority on N腻峁瓂a (ancient Indian art of performance and theater), as mentioned in the Bharata艣腻stram, one of the works ascribed to Kohala (=Kohal腻c腻rya-Kavi)鈥攁 celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Y腻峁ａ弓ika, 艢腻rd奴la, K腻艣yapa etc.鈥擳he possibility of connecting Kohala as the author of a portion of this codex exists only in the unknown section. Therefore, it seems more than likely that Kohala was not the author of this section. [...] The 苍腻苍诲墨-艣濒辞办补 is followed by verses of veneration of earlier authorities on 苍腻峁瓂补 [e.g., 碍腻丑补濒补] in chronological order. This entire passage with the exception of the final two lines, is an interpolation from 厂补峁単墨迟补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补.
Note: In these verses, there is mention of a 鈥淜oha岣穉鈥� and a 鈥淜腻ha岣穉鈥�. At this point 厂补峁単墨迟补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 reads 鈥楻腻hala鈥� instead of 鈥槹宄蟛贡舨光��. It is curious to see the statement 鈥�iti kohala vadanam鈥� repeated here too, especially since the name Koha岣穉 appears in the verses. Why would Kohala include himself in a verse of veneration to the authorities?
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣腻stra) 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).
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: academia.edu: The Structure and Meanings of the Heruka Ma峁囜笉ala1) 碍腻丑补濒补 (啶曕ぞ啶灌げ) refers to a 鈥渢rumpet鈥� and represents one of the items held in the right hand of Heruka: one of the main deities of the 贬别谤耻办补尘补峁囜笉补濒补 described in the 10th century 岣屇錵腻谤峁嘺惫补 chapter 15.

Accordingly, the 腻办腻艣补肠补办谤补 refers to one of the three divisions of the 诲丑补谤尘补-辫耻峁璦 (鈥榙harma layer鈥�), situated in the 贬别谤耻办补尘补峁囜笉补濒补.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra碍腻丑补濒腻 (啶曕ぞ啶灌げ啶�) refers to a kind of flute, according to chapter 1.2 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al腻k腻puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism. Accordingly, 鈥淸...] Then some gods beat loudly drums that made the mountains of the gods reverberate with loud echoes from caves.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
