In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Porul (matter) is the second part of the Tolkāppiyam, a source book on linguistic and grammatical study, social anthropology, psychology and cultural ecology, representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—The Tolkāppiyam deals with the grammar of literature and its conventions. This text has three parts and counts 1610 sutras. The three parts of it are eluttu (orthography), coll (etymology), and porul (matter) each with nine sections. Each division is called an atikāram. Tolkāppiyam, the most ancient Tamil grammar extant, was written around the 2nd century BC. The author of this book is Tolkappiyar, one of the twelve students of Agastya.
Porul-atikāram (treatise on grammar of love poetry) describes akam (people’s inner personal life), and puṟam (people’s external worldly life). Porul, in general, deals with the themes and forms of literature. Porul here means ‘that which is important in life’. It describes art forms, which are connected with people’s life.
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).
