In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Prakampa (प्रकम्प, “trembling”) occurs due to cold, fear, joy, anger, touch [of thebeloved] and old age. Trembling should be represented by quivering, throbbing and shivering.
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).
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Prakampa (प्रकम्प).—Depression of the voice after raising it as noticed in connection with the utterance of the svarita vowels in certain cases and in certain Vedic schools with a view to show the svarita nature of the vowel distinctly, in spite of the fact that such a depression is generally looked upon as a.fault; cf. असन्दिग्धान् स्वरान् ब्रूयादविकृष्टानकाम्पितान् (asandigdhān svarān brūyādavikṛṣṭānakāmpitān) R. Pr. III.18 as also जात्योभिानिहितश्चैव क्षैप्रः प्रश्लिष्ट एव च । एते स्वराः प्रकम्पन्ते यत्रोच्चस्वरितोदयाः (jātyobhiाnihitaścaiva kṣaipraḥ praśliṣṭa eva ca | ete svarāḥ prakampante yatroccasvaritodayāḥ) R. Pr. III. 19.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Prakampa (प्रकम्प):—[prakampaḥ] Tremor
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Prākampa (प्राकम्प) refers to the “quaking of the earth”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The brilliance of Śiva born of the eye in the forehead and cast off into the briny sea immediately assumed the form of a boy. [...] At the sound of the crying boy, the earth quaked (prākaṃpa) frequently [prākaṃpaddharaṇī muhuḥ]. The heaven and the Satyaloka became deafened at the noise.7. All the worlds were frightened. The guardians of the quarters became agitated in the mind. O dear holy one, O great brahmin, the entire world including the mobile and immobile quaked at the cries of the boy. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
