Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra1) Karmāravī (कर्मारवी) refers to one of the jātis (melodic class) related to the madhyama-grāma, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 28. It is also known as karmāravījāti. Jāti refers to a recognized melody-type and can be seen as a precursor to rāgas which replaced them.
According to the Nāṭyaśāstra 28.143-145, “in the karmāravī-jāti the aṃśa (key note) is ṛṣabha, pañcama, dhaivata and niṣāda, and the same are its graha (opening note). The apanyāsa (semi-terminal note) is also the same, and the nyāsa is pañcama, and no note is left out. Notes other than those in the aṃśa are strong (i.e., are to be amplified) and gāndhāra comes together with all other notes”.
2) Karmāravī (कर्मारवी) refers to one of the three mārjanā: rules used in the playing of drums (puṣkara) [with reference to Mṛdaṅga, Paṇava and Dardura] according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 33. Accordingly, “notes in the karmāravī are ṛṣabha in the vāmaka-puṣkara, ṣaḍja in the dakṣiṇa-puṣkara and pañcama in the ūrdhavaka”. Also, “the karmāravī will be in the gāndhāra-grāma, and these will include over-lapping notes”.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
