1) ʰٳԲ (प्रस्थान) refers to the “paths� or “methods� (of Mlecchas).—[...] While it is true, for instance, that Madhusūdana adopts an inclusive attitude towards Veda-affirming schools in his ʰٳԲbheda—including in its harmonizing scheme of ‘sciences� () both Vaiṣṇava and Śaiva teachings, among others—yet he explicitly excludes the extra-Vedic (پ첹) traditions of the Buddhists, Jains and materialists, as well as the paths or methods (ٳԲ) of Mlecchas. His rejection of those schools is unambiguous and based on a typically orthodox criterion—externality to the Vedic tradition. Although it offers a comparatively unified picture of پ첹 schools, Madhusūdana’s doxographical scheme is not all-inclusive, and retains an orthodox character insofar as it denies legitimacy to extra-Vedic traditions and those traditions associated with outcastes.

2) ʰٳԲ (प्रस्थान) refers to “sciences� or “paths�.—In his ʰٳԲbheda, Madhusūdana offers a list of 18 ‘sciences� () or ‘paths� (ٳԲ): the four Vedas with their respective upaveda, the six Vedāṅgas and four supplementary categories (upāṅgas), namely Purāṇas, Nyāya, Mīmāṃsā and Dharmaśāstra. Within Purāṇas, he includes all minor Purāṇas (upapurāṇa); within Nyāya, he includes Vaiśeṣika; within Mīmāṃsā, he includes Vedānta; and finally, within Dharmaśāstra he includes the two epics, Sāṃkhya, Yoga, Vaiṣṇava and Śaiva teachings.

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)

1) ʰٳԲ (प्रस्थान) refers to one of the ten Deśī-varieties of ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ, according to the Saṅgītacintāmaṇi of King Vīranārāyaṇa (Vema)—[Cf. M. R. Kavi’s Bharatakośa, p. 841].—Vema says that he has followed the path shown by Kohala and Mataṅga and has also followed current local traditions. He defines the term śī and then goes on to describe ten varieties of śī-ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ. [For example, ʰٳԲ]. Having listed the ten ṛtⲹ-屹ⲹ, he then says these have been described by Kohala and that he (Vema) will explain each of them. The use of the term ṛtⲹ屹ⲹ instead of ܱ貹ū貹첹 is noteworthy.

2) ʰٳԲ (प्रस्थान) refers to one of the sixteen divisions of the ٱśī-ū貹첹 compositions in ancient Indian art of dance and theater.—Puruṣottama Miśrā, while defining the terms and śī quotes the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa (Vol. II, pp.406-410) which he says has been taken from Kohala (the work of Kohala). Following , the śī forms are next listed out. First is a list of sixteen types as described by Dattila. [e.g., ٳԲ] [...] This list is followed by yet another bearing the names of another 12 forms.

: OAPEN: Abhinavagupta on Dance and Dramatic Acting

ʰٳԲ (प्रस्थान) refers to a genre of performance in ancient Indian art of dance and theater.—Abhinavagupta knew about forms of performance which had not found canonical description in Bharata’s text, forms that either originated or came into prominence in the five-hundred-to one-thousand-year time span separating the two authors. As a matter of fact, he quotes definitions for eight of the new genres, [i.e. ʰٳԲ] [...], which he borrows from the so-called ‘ancients� (cirantana).

ʰٳԲ, according to Abhinavagupta: “[When the dancer] adopts a gait similar to that of an elephant and the like, and sets out on a journey, [that genre,] endowed with scarce vehement [movements] and plenty of mild [ones], is called ʰٳԲ�.
