In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: svAbhinava: Abhinavagupta’s Treatment of the lāsyāṅgas

Bhāvika (भाविक).—Name of an additional lāsyāṅga, or ‘elements of the gentle dance’;—In the bhāvika, the heroine afflicted by the fire of love, manifests various Erotic states, seeing the lover in dream.

context information

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).

Kavyashastra (science of poetry)

Source: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)

Bhāvika (भाविक) refers to one of the 93 alaṃkāras (“figures of speech”) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭācārya (fl. 17th century) in his Kāvyavilāsa and is listed as one of the 89 arthālaṃkāras (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—The figure of speech Bhāvika has been admitted by ancient Ālaṃkārikas like Bhāmaha (K.A. III/53), Daṇḍin (K.D. II/364-366), Udbhaṭa (K.S.S. VI/12) Ruyyaka (A.S.P. 178) Mammaṭa (K.P. X/173) and Jayadeva (C.L. V/113).

Cirañjīva has given a definition of bhāvika-alaṃkāra. He has said “bhāvikaṃ bhūtabhāvyarthasākṣāddarśanavarṇanam”.—When a vivid description of the direct vision of past or future incident is given, the alaṃkāra bhāvika takes place. In this definition Cirañjīva has followed Jayadeva verbatim. When the things of past and future are described by the poet, some kind of charmingness which is very much essential in poetry appear. So this bhāvika is one of the charming alaṃkāras.

Example of the bhāvika-alaṃkāra:—

adyaivā’yaṃ pralayajaladhistyaktavelo’pyavela madyāpyeṣa bhramati parito bhūpatirmānasiṃhaḥ |
itthaṃ kīrttikṣitipa! bhavato jaitrayātrāntarāle bhūyobhūyaḥ prasarati satāṃ tyaktavādaḥ pravādaḥ ||

“Today the sea at the time of deluge has crossed the shore even it is without shore. Even now this king Māna Siṃha is roaming on all sides. Thus of the famous king! behind your victorious expedition this type of hear say of virtuous men is spreaded again and again”.

Notes: In this verse the death of Māna Siṃha is a past event and the crossing of the shore by the sea at the time of deluge is a future event. The direct vision of these two events are described by the poet with apt language, and this description brings charmingness to connoisseurs. So this is an example of bhāvika.

Source: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study

Bhāvika (भाविक, “vision”) refers to one of the various Alaṅkāras (‘figures of speech’) classified as Artha (‘sense’), as employed in the Bhīṣmacarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a mahākāvya (‘epic poem’) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.— In the poem Bhīṣmacarita, the poet has deliberately used ‘bhāvika-alaṅkāra’. For illustration, in IX.43 the poet has described how Satyavatī looks on the arrival of Bhīṣma at her place as the present has showered grace on her by his footsteps and wishes that the future will also grace accordingly. The other example is XIV.35.

Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, kāvyaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Bhāvika (भाविक) refers to “future (karma)”, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.141-145.—Accordingly, “Next, he should then bring about destruction of the past and future karma [i.e., bhāvika-karman] for the liberation-seeker, because of his indifference [to the world]. He should not purify the one [part of karma] that is the prārabdha [karma], [which fuels his present existence]. But for the Sādhaka, he should purify [only] one [part of the] past karma for the purpose of power, and having manifested the past and future karma together, he should initiate [the candidate]. This is the śivadharmiṇī-dīkṣā. [...]”.
