According to the Daśarūpa 4.8, “The Transitory States (ⲹ, sc. 屹) are those that especially accompany the Permanent State in co-operation, emerging from it and [again] being submerged in it, like the waves in the ocean.�

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).
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaղⲹ (व्यभिचारिन�) or Vyabhicārī or Sañcārī refers to one of the four ingredients of rasa.—There are thirty-three ⲹī-屹s. Vi means ‘distinctly�, Abhi means ‘towards�, and Cārī means ‘moving�. These thirty-three 屹s are called ⲹī because they move distinctly towards the sthāyī屹. They are also called sañcārī-屹s, because they are communicated through words, limbs, and sattva, and thus travel (ñٲ) throughout the system. They are like waves in the nectar ocean of the sthāyī屹, for they rise up, causing it to swell, and then they merge back into the ocean again.
The thirty-three sañcārī-屹s are:
- regret or indifference (nirveda),
- despair (ṣād),
- humility (dainya),
- physical and mental debility (Ծ),
- fatigue (ś),
- intoxication (mada),
- pride (garva),
- suspicion (śṅk),
- fear (ٰ),
- agitation (屹),
- madness (ܲԳ岹),
- absence of mind (apaṛt),
- disease (),
- fainting or delusion (moha),
- death (ṛt),
- laziness (ⲹ),
- inertness (ḍy),
- bashfulness (īḍ�),
- concealment of emotions (ٳٳ),
- remembrance (ṛt),
- deliberation or reasoning (vitarka),
- anxiety (Գ),
- resolve or wisdom (mati),
- fortitude (ṛt),
- jubilation (ṣa),
- ardent desire (ܳٲܰ첹),
- ferocity (augrya),
- impatience and indignation (ṣa),
- envy (ū),
- restlessness (貹ⲹ),
- sleep (Ծ)
- deep sleep (supti),
- awakening (bodha).
Some sañcārī-屹s are independent (svatantra), and some are dependent (paratantra). There are two types of dependent sañcārī-屹s: superior (vara) and inferior (avara). The superior category is also divided into two types, namely direct (ṣāt) and separated, or secondary (vyavahita). The independent sañcārī-屹s are divided into three types: those that are devoid of Rati (پ-śūԲⲹ); subsequently contacting Rati (پ-Գܲ貹śԲ); and having a trace of Rati (rati-gandha).

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
