2) Saṃbhrānta (संभ्रान्त).—One of the 32 aṅgahāras (major dance movement) mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 4. The instructions for this saṃbhrānta-aṅgahāra is as follows, “assuming Vikṣipta-karaṇa throwing out the left hand with Sūcī gesture, the right hand placed on the chest, Trika to be turned [in the Bhramarī Cārī] then assuming successively Nūpura, Ākṣipta, Ardhasvastika, Nitamba, Karihasta, Uromaṇḍala and Kaṭicchinna Karaṇas.”.

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).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Saṃbhrānta (संभ्रान्त) refers to “being excessively perplexed (due to someone’s beauty)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.26 (“The Vanishing of Viṣṇu’s delusion”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Śiva (after he killed Jalandhara): “O great lord, all the gods have been saved by you from the danger of the enemy but another event has happened. What shall we do in that respect? O lord, Vṛndā was fascinated by Viṣṇu. She burnt herself on the pyre and attained the great goal. But Viṣṇu deluded by your illusion is excessively agitated by the beauty (lāvaṇya-saṃbhrānta) of Vṛndā. He has smeared himself with the ashes from her pyre. [...]”.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Saṃbhrānta (संभ्रान्त) refers to “roaming about”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also all connections are obtained by all those possessing a body who have roamed about for time without a beginning (anādikāla—anādikālasaṃbhrāntaiḥ) in the wombs of mobile and immobile beings”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
