Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Bhāṣāṅga (भाषाङ्ग) or bhāṣāṅgarāga is defined as “those that slowly emerge when the rāga is thought of”, according to Umāpati in his 9th century Aumāpatam (exposition on music and dance).
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).

Bhāṣāṅga (भाषाङ्ग) refers to one of the four classifications of Deśirāgas [viz., rāgāṅga, bhāṣāṅga, kriyāṅga and upāṅga].—Of these, rāgāṅga-rāgas are those that had a close association with the grāma-rāgas, bhāṣāṅga-rāgas are those which were linked to the bhāṣās, vibhāṣās and antarabhāṣās of the grāma-rāgas, kriyāṅga-rāgas are those that were related to specific emotive situations and upāṅga-rāgas are those which could not be classified under any of the above three categories.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, gītaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
