Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraKalahāntaritā (कलहान्तरिता) refers to a “young woman who is separated” according to the Nāṭyaśāstra 4.315. Accordingly, “But dance (nṛtta) should not be applied to the part of a young woman who is enraged (khaṇḍitā), deceived (vipralabdhā); or separated [from her lover] by a quarrel (kalahāntaritā)”.
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraKalahāntaritā (कलहान्तरिता) refers to “one separated from her lover by a quarrel” and represents a type of mistress (nāyikā), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 24. The different nāyikās, or ‘heroines’ of dramatic plays (nāṭaka) are defined according to the rules of king’s etiquette to women.
Accordingly, “when woman is impatient for her lover having gone away due to a quarrel, or jealousy, and not returning, she is a heroine (nāyikā) separated by quarrel (kalahāntaritā)”.
