In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Sambhāvitā (सम्भाविता) refers to a class of gīti: an ancient system of classification of rhythms, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 29. Accordingly, “the sambhāvitā is known to be constituted with long syllables”. These gītis also include special formations of syllables and variation in speed.
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)
Saṃbhāvita (संभावित) refers to the “proper arrangements” (for festivals held in honour of particular deities), according to chapter 1.4 of Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly [while describing the routine-duties of a citizen with respect to festivals]: “[...] The members of the assembly should act in concert, both in times of distress as well as in times of prosperity, and it is also the duty of these citizens to show hospitality to strangers who may have come to the assembly. What is said above should be understood to apply to all the other festivals which may be held in honour of the different Deities, according to the present rules (saṃbhāvita-sthita) [etena taṃ taṃ devatāviśeṣamuddiśya saṃbhāvitasthitayo ghaṭā vyākhyātāḥ]”.
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
