Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Anuyāyi (अनुयायि).—One of the 100 sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra. He is called Agrayāyī also; he was killed in battle by Bhīmasena. (Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 67, Verse 102; Chapter 116, Verse 11 and Droṇa Parva, Chapter 157, Verses 17-20).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Anuyāyin (अनुयायिन्) refers to the “retinue” (i.e., followers of the king), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the conclision of hawking]: “[...] The food should be first given to horses and birds for testing it. The food should be brought by experienced cooks and consist of roast meats and rice as white as the Kunda (jasmine) flower. He should eat along with his retinue (anuyāyin). After chewing pan he should go back to his residence, conversing all the way on a variety of subjects, [...]”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
