This page relates 鈥楨xamples of Proshitabhartrika鈥� of the study dealing with the Ashta-Nayikas鈥攁 classification of eight kinds of 鈥淗eroines鈥� representing the eight emotional states (avastha) employed in the classical Indian dance and performing arts (otherwise known as Natya Shastra). These Ashtanayikas reflect the eight types of romantic relationships and have hence formed the expressive subject of many classical painting, poems and dramatic plays.

in despair and fevered unrest,
wait and fidget
for the golden hour of the loved one鈥檚 return,
they discard the chaplets of flowers,
their trinklet and knick knacks of beauty;
like pearly dew on tender foliage
The tear drops fall from their lotus eyes,
and moisten the twitching lower lip
red ripe like the bimba fruit.[3]
Varieties
The maximum numbers of divisions are seen in this 苍腻测颈办腻. The 苍腻测颈办腻 whose husband is to be leaving in the near future, the one whose husband is leaving right then, the 苍腻测颈办腻 whose husband has left, the one whose husband will be arriving soon, the one whose husband has come back. The 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补蝉补谤补蝉墨 mentions eight varieties of this 苍腻测颈办腻; adding to the already mentioned ones, the one who returned soon on departure, the husband who will be arriving any moment and the one who comes in the dreams[4]. The one who gives up his travel plans seeing the viraha of his lover is also considered as one of the varieties by some authors[5].
