Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Ayoga (अयोग) refers to one of the three types of Śṛṅgāra-rasa (love-sentiment) according to Dhanañjaya (Daśarūpaka IV.50). The ayoga variety of śṛṅgāra, which arises due to the dependent position of one or other of the lovers, though deeply attached to each other, cannot in any way be united, through distance or the intervention of ill-luck, has ten stages of love i.e. daśa-kāmadaśā. This ayoga type of śṛṅgāra may be regarded as a subvariety or the broader class of vipralambha or viprayoga.

Ayoga (अयोग) or Ayogāgama refers to one of upāgamas (supplementary scriptures) of the Bimbāgama which is one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing upāgamas (e.g., Ayoga Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of mūlāgamas (e.g., Bimba-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in mūlāgamas.
