Araṅgailakkaṇa or Araṅgailakkaṇamarapu refers to the “use of the principles of the stage” as defined in the Pañcamarapu (‘five-fold traditional usage’) which represents an important piece of Tamil literature.—Araṅgailakkaṇa-marapu gives information about the dramatic stage theory; which has been taken from other sources and included in the text at a later stage. It is expressed in poetic form, viruttappa, without any explanation. The same songs are given in another book titled Bharatha Sangiragam.
