辱ñᲹ (कपिञ्जलि) is the Sanskrit name of one of Bharata’s sons, mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra 1.26-33. His name can also be spelled Kapiñjala. After Brahmā created the Nāṭyaveda (ṭyśٰ), he ordered Bharata to teach the science to his (one hundred) sons. Bharata thus learned the Nāṭyaveda from Brahmā, and then made his sons study and learn its proper application. After their study, Bharata assigned his sons (eg., 辱ñᲹ) various roles suitable to them.
