Bhrūkṣepa (भ्रूक्षेप) refers to “movement of the eyebrows”.—The accounts of both the Śṛṅgāra-mañjarīkathā and Yaśastilakacampū depict real living animals as being charmed or fooled by the automata as if they were alive. A key source of the machine’s fascination, then, was its ability to create deception. [...] Dramaturgical texts note that the emotion of wonder was to be indicated on stage first and foremost by ocular gestures—wide open eyes (nayanavistāra), unblinking stares (animeṣaprekṣita), and movement of the eyebrows (bhrūkṣepa).
