Source: OAPEN: Abhinavagupta on Dance and Dramatic ActingḌombilī (डोम्बिली) is another name for Ḍombalikā, which possibly represents another name for Durmilitā, which to a genre of performance in ancient Indian art of dance and theater, according to Bhoja’s Śṛṅgāraprakāśa (11, p. 466).—Raghavan (1978: 549, n. 1) quotes the opinion of Bhayani, according to whom the name of the Durmilitā-genre would be a Sanskritization of Ḍombalikā—appearing also as ḍombilī/ḍombilikā in narrative sources in Prakrit—and both would correspond to the Ḍombikā referred to several times in the Abhinavabhāratī (Bhayani 1993: 27–28).
