Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraNāṭyadharmī (नाट्यधर्मी, “conventional practice”) is a Sanskrit word referring to the “conventional/symbolic mode of dramatic representation”, which follows theatrical modes, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra verse 14.61. It is one of the two kinds of dramatic representation, also called dharmī, or dharmin.
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraNāṭyadharmī (“conventional”) is a devision of the technical practice of the production of a play—If a play modifies a traditional story, introduces supernatural powers, disregards the usual practice about the use of languages, and requires acting with graceful Aṅgahāras, and possesses characteristics of dance, and requires conventional enunciation and is dependent on a heavenly scene and heaven-born males, it is to be known as Conventional (nāṭyadharmī).
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).
