In Hinduism
Shiksha (linguistics: phonetics, phonology etc.)
Kauhaliya Shiksha (कौहलीय शिक्षा, Kauhalīya Śikṣā): Name of a traditional Hindu treatise on the subject of Shiksha (one of the six Vedangas, dealing with Sanskrit phonetics and phonology).
Shiksha (शिक्षा, śikṣā) deals with Sanskrit linguistics and represents a branch of vedanga (vedic ancillary science). Shiksha deals with subjects such as phonetics, phonology, study of sound, letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and related topics. Much attention is also given to the study of recitation (patha) of Vedic verses.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Kauhalīyaśikṣā (कौहलीयशिक्षा) refers to one of the works ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—Kohala, though a contemporary of Bharata is believed to be one of the pioneering ācaryas of the deśī tradition. He was not just an Ācārya but was also an accomplished actor himself. [...] Kauhalīyaśikṣā is a small work consisting of eighty one anuṣṭup verses. Unlike some Śikṣā texts like Vyāsa Śikṣā, this work has not been divided into chapters. It is a common practice for Śikṣā texts to begin with the statement—‘atha śikṣāṃ pravakṣyāmi.........’—Kauhalīyaśikṣā too begins the same way:—atha śikṣāṃ pravakṣyāmi kauhalīyamatānugām
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).
