In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Mantraka (啶え啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ啶�) refers to one of the various 鈥渙rnaments for the hip鈥�, classified under the heading 膧h膩rya (鈥渙rnaments鈥�), according to the Sa峁単墨tan膩r膩ya峁嘺 (Vol. II, p.482) and the Sa峁単墨t膩r峁嘺vacandrika (1995: p.219). Puru峁ttama Mi艣r膩 first makes a general classification of ornaments (腻丑腻谤测补); then he gives the definitions for each along with a few examples. This is followed by the names of ornaments that are to be worn on different body parts. [...] Puru峁ttama Mi艣ra lists out all these ornaments [e.g., Mantraka] and then says that each of these ornaments has been described in detail in the work 鈥楰ohal墨ya鈥�. And therefore, he says, he shall not be venturing to do the same for fear that his work will become too unwieldy in size.
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).

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
