In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Maruṭkai (surprise) refers to one of the nine rasas (sentiment), as defined in the first book of the Pañcamarapu (‘five-fold traditional usage’) which deals with niruttam (dance, one of the sixty–four arts) and represents an important piece of Tamil literature.—Maruṭkai (surprise) is defined as novelty, pride, humiliation, degradation. These nine rasas are exhibited through three characters namely, the sāttvika, rājasa and tāmasa.
Maruṭkai (surprise) also represents one of the eight aspects of Meyppāṭu, or “physical manifestations of moods/emotions”, as defined in the Tolkāppiyam (2nd century BC): a source book on linguistic and grammatical study, social anthropology, psychology and cultural ecology, representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—Meyppāṭu is the integrated psychophysical activity expressive of emotions [viz., Maruṭkai] evoked by dramatic performance or perception of poetry. It is intended to express the inner feelings (emotions) through tears, enthrallment, sweating, and shivering, so that others can understand their feelings. The physical manifestation of emotions through the physique is known as meyppāṭu.
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).
