In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Bhrāntimān (भ्रान्तिमान्, “error”) refers to a type of Alaṃkāra (figure of speech).—Bhrāntimān or error is the apprehension, from resemblance, of an object as being what it is not, if it is suggested by poetical imagination.
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)
Bhrāntimān (भ्रान्तिमान्) is another name for Bhrānti: 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).—Cirañjīva has treated the figure named bhrānti. The predecessors of Cirañjīva like Mammaṭa Ruyyaka Viśvanātha and Jagannātha have given the name bhrāntimān instead of bhrānti. Infact bhrāntimān and bhrānti these two are same in nature. Whenever a thing is perceived or taken as another thing due to similarity it is called bhrānti or illusion.
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.
