Accordingly, “these are called bahir-gītas because they were outside (bahis) the performance of the play and were included in its preliminaries”.
Accordingly, “the expert producer, as an occasion will arise, should perform the līlākṛta as well as abhisṛta and parisṛta according to the rules of the short āsārita, and it should observe tālas sweet to hear”.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) 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.
