In Hinduism

Shilpashastra (iconography)

Source: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian Style

Naṭṭi (नट्टि) refers to a type of mūrchanā (melodic mode), and its illustration as a Goddess (according to 15th-century Indian art) is as follows.—The colour of her body is dark-green. She holds been with both hands. She wears a bodice of rosy colour with crimson-coloured design and a scarf of yellow-saffron colour with black design. She wears a lower garment (a trouser) of rosy colour bearing a white design.

The illustrations (of, for example Naṭṭi) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this citrāvalī are based on the ślokas of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14^th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13^th century).

ñatti : (f.) announcement; declaration.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Ñatti, (f.) (Sk. jñapti, from jñāpayati, caus of jñā) announcement, declaration, esp. as t. t. a motion or resolution put at a kammavācā (proceedings at a meeting of the chapter. The usual formula is “esā ñatti; suṇātu me bhante saṅgho”: Vin. I, 340; III, 150, 173, 228;— °ṃ ṭhapeti to propose a resolution Vin. IV, 152.—Vin. V, 142, 217 (na c’âpi ñatti na ca pana kammavācā). This resolution is also called a ñattikamma: Vin. II, 89; IV, 152; V, 116; A. I, 99. Two kinds are distinguished, viz. that at which the voting follows directly upon the motion, i.e. a ñatti-dutiya-kamma, & that at which the motion is put 3 times, & is then followed (as 4th item) by the decision, i.e. a ñ-catuttha-kamma. Both kinds are discussed at Vin. I, 56, 317 sq.; II, 89; III, 156; IV, 152; & passim. Cp. Divy 356: jñapticaturtha. Cp. āṇatti, viññatti. (Page 287)
