Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraParivartanī (परिवर्तनी).—The dhruvā (song) which has only the last syllable long in its four feet of eleven syllables, is called the parivartanī (Walking-round) dhruvā, which comes after performing the utthāpana. It should be performed in the caturasra-tāla and medium tempo and with eight sannipātas. During the singing of this dhruvā the Director should move leftwards in the vārtika-mārga with graceful step in accompaniment of instrumental music and should bow to [different] deities in directions belonging to them.
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).

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
