Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraCañcatpuṭa (चञ्चत्पुट) refers to the caturasra (four-cornered) source of tāla (time measure), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 31. It is also known as Cañcūpuṭa and Caccatpuṭa. Accordingly, “the cañcatpuṭaḥ will consist of two long syllables followed by one short syllable and the final pluta syllable”. The tāla is so called because it measures time by a division of songs into kalās”.
The three varieties of cañcatpuṭa are:
- sannipātādi,
- śamyādi,
- tālādi.
