In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Som膩bha峁弓a (啶膏啶ぞ啶啷嵿) is possibly identified with the author of the T膩lakal膩v膩rdhi (a critical work on T膩las), otherwise ascribed to Acyuta.鈥擱amakrishna Kavi mentions a work called T膩lakalsabdhi / T膩lakal膩v膩rdhi of Acyutar膩ya in the introduction of his book Bharatako艣a. He also presents several readings from this work in the book under the name 鈥淎cyuta鈥� or 鈥淎cyutar膩ya鈥濃�斺�淎cyutar膩ya, the brother of K峁涐梗峁嘺devar膩ya, was a king of Vijayanagar. After the death of the latter in 1530, Acyuta wrote T膩lakal膩v膩rdhi, a very good critical work on T膩la-s. He discusses every theory till then current quoting Sa峁単墨tacandrodaya, Ma峁噄darpa峁嘺, Vidy膩vinoda, Caturasabh膩vil膩sa, T膩lakal膩vil膩sa, Nrttac奴岣嵞乵a峁噄, K膩ty膩yana, Sa峁単墨t膩r峁嘺va, Ra峁単ar膩ja鈥檚 Bharatabh膩峁a. All these works are now extinct. While others mention these works, Acyuta actually quotes from these books; their existence therefore can be vouchsafed. In the middle of the work, it said that one Som膩bha峁弓a wrote this work. [...]鈥�.
Note: Ramakrishna Kavi, while explaining the details of T膩lakal膩bdhi, quotes a colophon which mentions the name of a Som膩bha峁弓a as the author of T膩lakal膩vardhi. It is not certain whether Som膩bha峁弓a composed the entire work of T膩lakal膩bdhi/T膩lakal膩v膩rdhi under the name of King Acyutar膩ya, or wrote only the telugu commentary. In fact, even the above colophon is not to be found in any of the available manuscripts of T膩lalak峁峁嘺m. [...] V. Premalatha mentions the possibility of this Som膩bha峁弓a being the same as Soman膩rya, the author of R膩gat膩lacint膩ma峁噄 and N膩峁瓂ac奴岣嵞乵a峁噄.
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.
