Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra

Āyata (आयत) refers to a type of posture (sthāna) for women (strī); defined in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 12. Accordingly, “The sthāna will be maintained by a dancer till any movement begins. For during a dance the sthāna is at an end when the cārī (‘dance-steps’) has begun. This is the rule of the sthāna for women and for men as well.”

(Instructions for Āyata): In the Āyata Sthāna (posture) the right foot will be Sama, the left (lit. the other at the side) foot Tryaśra (obliquely placed) and the left raised.

(Uses of Āyata): This sthāna is to be used in invocation, dismissal, observing carefully, thinking and dissimulation. And the first appearance on the stage, scattering handfuls of flowers on the stage, anger due to jealous love, twisting the forefinger, prohibition, pride, profundity, silence, fit of resentment (māna) and looking to the horizon are also to be represented from this Sthāna.

Āyata (आयत) refers to one of the nine maṇḍala (postures of the feet) which represents one of the four “movements of the feet” (pāda) according to the Abhinayadarpaṇa. The second maṇḍala is āyata-maṇḍala where the dancer is found standing in caturasra, bending the knees slightly and obliquely and keeping a distance of vitasti between the feet. This posture is termed as kṣipta pose in Bharatanatyam. This posture is found in iconography but there is no separate term used for this pose. The icon of Somāskanda is found in this posture.

Here [in the cycle of rebirth] a king becomes an insect and an insect becomes the chief of the gods. An embodied soul might wander about, tricked by [their] karma without being able to help it”.
