Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra

Bhāratī (भारती, “verbal style”) is the Sanskrit name for one of the four styles (vṛtti) of dramatic performance (prayoga). According to Nāṭyaśāstra 1.41-43, the four styles were originally prepared by Bharata and presented to Brahmā (who created the Nāṭyaveda from the four Vedas).

According to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 22, there are four varieties of the verbal style:

1. prarocanā (laudation),
2. āmukha (the introduction),
3. vīthī,
4. prahasana.

One of the Four Styles (vṛtti) of dramatic production (nāṭya).—Bhāratī (the Verbal)—The theatrical presentation which is characterised by a preponderating use of speech (in Skt.) and in which male characters are exclusively to be employed, is said to be in the Verbal Style (Nāṭyaśāstra XXII. 25ff.). This is applicable mainly in the evocation of the Pathetic and the Marvellous Sentiments.

Source: svAbhinava: Abhinava's Conception of Humor

Bhāratī (भारती).—The four sub-divisions of the ‘verbal’ (bhāratī) style are the prarocanā, āmukha, vīthī and prahasana (Nātya Shāstra GOS XX.27). Abhinava’s comment seems to imply that, as modes of the verbal style, the vīthī and the prahasana do not refer to particular forms of drama (but to the instances of “crooked speech” and farcical elements introduced into any play) and, as forms of drama, they are especially characterized by the verbal style, though not exhausted by it.

She carries a rosary and a book in her hands, she has the stainless complexion of the full moon, and she embodies the entirety of knowledge. I venerate the beloved husband of Rati, the beautiful Mind-born [God Kāmadeva]. He carries a bow and arrows of flowers and his complexion resembles the petals of Dhak.
