Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Bhūridakṣiṇa (भूरिदक्षिण) refers to “one who is most liberal in charity”, and is used to descibe Yudhiṣṭhira, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] These are the seventeen ‘addictions,’ and hunting is the eighteenth. Their good and bad aspects have thus been described by Bhīṣma to Yudhiṣṭhira:— ‘O, most liberal in charity (bhūridakṣiṇa), you should give up all sorts of “addictions,” not that you should not practise them at all, but you should not be given up to them’.”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
