In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Pravāsa (प्रवास).—The condition of separation of lovers who were previously intimately associated.
Pravāsa (प्रवास) refers to:—One of the four divisions of vipralambha, separation; the separation, due to their being in different places, of lovers who were previously intimately associated. Pravāsa has two divisions: going out of sight (pravāsa) and going to a distant place (sudūra-pravāsa). (cf. Glossary page from Bhajana-Rahasya).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Pravāsa (प्रवास) refers to one of the four types of the Vipralambha variety of Śṛṅgāra (“the erotic sentiment”) which represents one of the nine kinds of Rasa (“soul of Drama”), according to the Sāhityadarpaṇa.—Rasa or Sentiment is a very important component in poetry. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa both the terms viraha and vipralambha are used to denote the second variety of śṛṇgāra sentiment. But most of the Rhetoricians of Sanskrit poetics like Mammaṭa and Viśvanāthakavirāja use the term vipralambha only. In the Sāhityadarpaṇa four types of vipralambha-śṛṇgāra are accepted, e.g., pravāsa.
Pravāsa (प्रवास) also refers to one of the five kinds of Vipralambha, according to the Kāvyaprakāśa of Mammaṭa.
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).
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Pravāsa (प्रवास) refers to a “woman during the absence of her Husband”, according to the Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life; being written by Mallanāga Vātsyāyana in the 2nd century A.D. it belongs to the Kāmaśāstra branch of literature which deals with the ancient Indian science of love-making.—Topics of Book IV (about a wife) include: On the manner of living of a virtuous Woman, and of her behaviour during the absence of her Husband (pravāsa-caryā) [ekacāriṇīvṛttam | pravāsacaryā] .
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
