Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)The Scissor is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kartarī, whereas Kartarīmukha-hasta refers to one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as ṃyܰٲٲ), according to the վṣṇܻdzٳٲܰṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The word 첹ٲī means scissor and along with the word mukha, it means mouth of the scissor. The վṣṇܻdzٳٲܰṇa suggests that in the 첹ٲīmukhahasta, the hand should be in ٰ貹첹ٲ and the forefinger is kept in the back of the middle finger. [...] Moreover, when forefinger is kept in the back of the middle finger and when it does not touch the middle finger, it literary looks like the mouth of a scissor. But the view point of the Բⲹ岹貹ṇa is totally different from that of the վṣṇܻdzٳٲܰṇa in this regard.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, 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).
