Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
The Scissor is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kartarī, whereas Kartarīmukha-hasta refers to one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as asaṃyuktahastas), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The word kartarī means scissor and along with the word mukha, it means mouth of the scissor. The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa suggests that in the kartarīmukhahasta, the hand should be in tripatākahasta and the forefinger is kept in the back of the middle finger. [...] Moreover, when forefinger is kept in the back of the middle finger and when it does not touch the middle finger, it literary looks like the mouth of a scissor. But the view point of the Abhinayadarpaṇa is totally different from that of the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa in this regard.
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).
