Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Netraroga (नेत्ररोग) refers to “eye-disease”. According to Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8, when afflicted by eye-diseases, the gesture (āṅgika) made with the eyelids (puṭa) should be pihita (resting). The term is composed of the words netra (‘eyes’) and roga (‘disease’).
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.
