Ākṣiptikā (आक्षिप्तिका) refers to one of the twelve Tālas classified as Upabhaṅgatāla, which are associated with the Dhruvā-gāna.—[...] Though belonged to the mārga tradition, Dhrūvā-gāna included some tālas which were employed in nāṭya and yet not described in Nāṭyaśāstra. These tālas were classified as bhaṅga, upabhaṅga [e.g., ākṣiptikā-tāla] and vibhaṅga-tālas. These have not been mentioned by Bharata, but they are still considered to be a part of mārga. They do not belong to the deśī tradition. M. R. Kavi also gives a list of tālas associated with Dhruvāgāna.
