Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Kannan is another name for Kṛṣṇa, as mentioned in the Kaṭalāṭukkāṭai, which is a chapter of the Cilappatikāram: an ancient epic authored by Ilango Adigal representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—Accordingly, while describing the Alliam (one of the eleven dances): This is a war dance danced by Kannan (Kṛṣṇa) in order to defeat the deceitful Kamsa who came in the form of an elephant.
