Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraSākāṅkṣa (तारस्थान, “with expectancy”) refers to one of two “intonations” (kāku). According to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 19, these two intonations are part of the ‘vocal representation’ (vācika), which is used in communicating the meaning of the drama and calling forth the sentiment (rasa). The term is used throughout nāṭyaśāstra literature.

It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
