In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: N膩峁瓂a-艣膩stra狈补苍诲补测补苍迟墨 (啶ㄠえ啷嵿う啶え啷嵿い啷�) refers to one of the 箩腻迟颈蝉 (melodic class) related to the 尘补诲丑测补尘补-驳谤腻尘补, according to the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra chapter 28. It is therefore also known as 苍补苍诲补测补苍迟墨箩腻迟颈. J膩ti refers to a recognized melody-type and can be seen as a precursor to 谤腻驳补蝉 which replaced them.
According to the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra 28.140-143, 鈥渋n the 苍补苍诲补测补苍迟墨-箩腻迟颈 the 补峁兣沘 (key note) is always 辫补帽肠补尘补, the 补辫补苍测腻蝉补 (semi-terminal note) is madhyama and 辫补帽肠补尘补. In the hexatonic treatment (峁Ｄ佱笉补惫补 / 峁Ｄ佱笉补惫颈迟补) it excludes 峁岣峧补 which should be skipped over (i.e., reduced). Notes coming together (蝉补峁僣腻谤补) in it are like those in the 腻苍诲丑谤墨-箩腻迟颈. And 峁涐梗补产丑补 also should be skipped over, and there should be the low pitch (mandra-gati) there, and 峁岣峧补 should be in the high pitch (迟腻谤补) and it should not be in a descending scale (lit. go backward). Its graha (opening note) should be 驳腻苍诲丑腻谤补 and the 苍测腻蝉补 (terminal note) also the same鈥�.
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狈补苍诲补测补苍迟墨 (啶ㄠえ啷嵿う啶え啷嵿い啷�) is the wife of Ratnadatta: a merchant (惫补峁噄箩) from Ayodhy膩, as mentioned in the thirteenth story of the 痴别迟腻濒补辫补帽肠补惫颈峁兣沘迟颈 in the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 88. Accordingly, 鈥�... during the reign of that king [V墨raketu] there lived in that city [Ayodhy膩] a great merchant, named Ratnadatta, who was the head of the mercantile community. And there was born to him, by his wife 狈补苍诲补测补苍迟墨, a daughter named Ratnavat墨, who was obtained by propitiating the deities鈥�.
The story of V墨raketu is mentioned in the 痴别迟腻濒补辫补帽肠补惫颈峁兣沘迟颈 (twenty-five tales of a 惫别迟腻濒补) which is embedded in the twelfth book of the Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�). The main book is a famous Sanskrit epic detailing the exploits of prince Narav膩hanadatta in his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The Kath膩-sarit-s膩gara is is explained to be an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 which consisted of 100,000 verses and in turn forms part of an even larger work containing 700,000 verses.
