Arthashastra (politics and welfare)
Atideśa (अतिदेश) refers to “application” and is the name of a yukti, or ‘technical division’, according to which the contents of the Arthaśāstra by Cāṇakya are grouped. Cāṇakya (4th-century BCE), aka Kauṭilya, was the chief minister of Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the famous Maurya Empire.
Arthashastra (अर्थशास्त्र, arthaśāstra) literature concerns itself with the teachings (shastra) of economic prosperity (artha) statecraft, politics and military tactics. The term arthashastra refers to both the name of these scientific teachings, as well as the name of a Sanskrit work included in such literature. This book was written (3rd century BCE) by by Kautilya, who flourished in the 4th century BCE.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Atideśa (अतिदेश, “agreement”) refers to one of the twelve froms of verbal representation (vācika), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 24. These verbal representations are to be expressed using the various representations of the body (śārira). Vācika forms a part of abhinaya (techniques of representation) which is used in communicating the meaning of the drama (nāṭya) and calling forth the sentiment (rasa).
According to the Nāṭyaśāastra, “saying ‘you have said what was uttered by me’ is an example of agreement (atideśa)”.
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).
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Atideśa (अतिदेश).—Extended application; transfer or conveyance or application of the character or qualities or attributes of one thing to another. Atideśa in Sanskrit grammar is a very common feature prescribed by Pāṇini generally by affixing the tad. affix मत् (mat) or वत् (vat) to the word whose attributes are conveyed to another. e. g. लोटो लङ्वत् (loṭo laṅvat) P. III. 4.85. In some cases the atideśa is noticed even without the affix मत् (mat) or वत् (vat); e.g.गाङ्कुटादिभ्योऽञ्णिन् ङित् (gāṅkuṭādibhyo'ñṇin ṅit) P. 1.2.1 . Atideśa is generally seen in all grammatical terms which end with 'vadbhāva' e. g. स्थानिवद्भाव (sthānivadbhāva) (P.I.1.56-59), सन्वद्भाव (sanvadbhāva) (P.VII.4.93), अन्तादिवद्भाव (antādivadbhāva) (P. VI.1.85), अभूततद्भाव (abhūtatadbhāva) (P.IV.60) and others. Out of these atideśas, the स्थानिवद्भाव (sthānivadbhāva) is the most important one, by virtue of which sometimes there is a full representation i.e. substitution of the original form called sthānin in the place of the secondary form called ādeśa. This full representation is called रूपातिदेश (rūpātideśa) as different from the usual one which is called कार्यातिदेश (kāryātideśa), cf. M. Bh. VIII.1.90 Vārt. 1 and VIII.1.95. Vart.3. Regarding the use of अतिदेश (atideśa) there is laid down a general dictum सामान्यातिदेशे विशेषानतिदेशः - (sāmānyātideśe viśeṣānatideśaḥ -)when an operation depending on the general properties of a thing could be taken by extended application, an operation depending on special properties should not be taken by virtue of the same : e. g. भूतवत् (bhūtavat) in P. III.3.132 means as in the case of the general past tense and not in the case of any special past tense like the imperfect (अनद्यतन (anadyatana)) , or the perfect (परोक्ष (parokṣa)). See Par. Śek. Pari. 101, M. Bh. on P. III. 3. 132. There is also a general dictum अति-देशिकमनित्यम्- (ati-deśikamanityam-)whatever is transferred by an extended application, need not, be necessarily taken. See Par. Śek. 93.6 as also M. Bh. on P.I.1.123 Vārt.4, I.2.1 Vārt. 3, II.3.69 Vārt.2 etc., Kaiyaṭa on II. 1.2 and VI.4.22 and Nyāsa on P. I.1.56 and P. I.2.58 Vārt. 8. The dictum आतिदेशिकमनित्यम् (ātideśikamanityam) is given as a Paribhāṣā by Nāgeśa cf. Pari. Śek. 93. 6.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
