In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Prabaddha (प्रबद्ध) refers to one of the nine “breathing techniques” (anila) (i.e., “techniques of inhalation and exhalation”) described by Kohala, as mentioned in citations by the Saṅgītaratnākara (Vol. IV, Chapter VII, p.162), [named as Pravṛddha in both] the Saṅgītarāja (Nṛtyaratnakośa, Ullāsa 1, Parīkṣaṇa 3, p.94-95), and the Nṛtyādhyāya (Upāṅga Prakaraṇa, p.164).—The names of these varieties of breathing techniques are more or less the same in all the three works. [For example, prabaddha] A verse explaining each of these techniques is found in both Sangītarāja as well as Nṛtyādhyāya. These explanatory verses appear to be the words of these authors and not direct quotations of Kohala.
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).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). 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.
