The Vismudharmottara has detailed the movements of the various limbs in chapters 24 and 25. The description of the different Angikabhinayas is similar in both the Natya sastra and the Visnudharmottara. Following Natyasastra, the Visnudharmottara mentions thirteen basic movements of the head and discusses the usage (Viniyoga). They are (1) Akampita (up and down movement) (2) Kampita (the above movement done frequently) (3) Dhuta(bending down of the head) (4) Vidhuta (shaking the head from one side to the other); (5) Parivahita (the sideways or circular movements); (6) Udvahita (when it is lifted up); (7) Avadhuta (turned down suddenly); (8) Ancita

Seven movements of the Neck- (1) Ancita (Head thrown back but the neck movement indicates an extreme position); (2) Recita (like Parilolita head movement whirling the neck on all sides); (3) Mukta (Recita movement with circumambulation); (4) Vivrtta (moving the neck; the circular movement in relaxed position -Bharata Natyasastra ); (5) Catura - (Sweet).
