Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
1) Apaviddha (अपविद्ध).—One of the 108 karaṇas (minor dance movement) mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 4. The instructions for this apaviddha-karaṇa is as follows, “The [tight] hand with Śukatuṇḍa gesture to fall on the [right] thigh, the left hand held on the chest.”.
2) Apaviddha (अपविद्ध).—One of the 32 aṅgahāras (major dance movement) mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 4. The instructions for this apaviddha-aṅgahāra is as follows, “Apaviddha and Sūcīviddha Karaṇas, then observing Udveṣṭita-karaṇa with hands and turning the Trika, showing with hands Uromaṇḍalaka gestures and assuming Kaṭicchinna Karaṇa.”.
A karaṇa represents a minor dance movements and combines sthāna (standing position), cārī (foot and leg movement) and nṛttahasta (hands in dancing position). A sequence of multiple karaṇas combine into an aṅgahara (major dance movement).
3) Apaviddha (अपविद्ध) refers to a specific gesture (āṅgika) , or “movements made with the arms (bāhu)”, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 9. These movements form a part of the histrionic representation (abhinaya).
Apaviddha (अपविद्ध) refers to one of the 108 kinds of Karaṇa (“coordination of precise movements of legs and hands”), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, karaṇas are the coordination of precise movements of legs and hands performed in a particular posture. The Nāṭyaśāstra also gives its view point in the same spirit. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, one hundred and eight kinds of karaṇas are accepted, e.g., Apaviddha.
Apaviddha (अपविद्ध) refers to one of the fifty types of Cālakas (“variety of hand-movements”), according to Kallinātha’s Kalānidhi commentary on the Saṅgītaratnākara 7.349 (Vol. IV, pp.110-125).—Kohala says that though there are infinite number of cālakas, the ones that are actively being used in lakṣya alone are being described by him. He proceeds to describe fifty cālakas [for example, apaviddha]. After giving a detailed explanation for each of these fifty cālakas, Kohala says that he has just related the details about cālakas as mentioned by Lord Śiva and follows that with the benefits of performing these cālakas (kīrti, maṅgala etc.).
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. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Apaviddha (अपविद्ध) refers to one of the twelve types of sons (putra) defined in the Vyavahārādhyāya of the Yājñavalkyasmṛti verse 2.128-132.—The son who is taken or adopted by a person, after having been deserted by his parents, is called Apaviddha or deserted son.
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
