In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StyleNaṭṭi (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 (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryñatti : (f.) announcement; declaration.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryÑatti, (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)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
