In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraṢaḍjodīcyavatī (षड्जोदीच्यवती) refers to one of the jātis (melodic class) related to the ṣaḍja-grāma, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 28. It is therefore also known as ṣaḍjodīcyavājāti. Jāti refers to a recognized melody-type and can be seen as a precursor to rāgas which replaced them.
According to the Nāṭyaśāstra 28.115-117, “in the ṣaḍjodīcyavā-jāti, the aṃśa (key note) is ṣaḍja, madhyama, dhaivata and niṣāda, the nyāsa (terminal note) is madhyama, and the apanyāsa (semi-terminal note) is ṣaḍja and dhaivata. The aṃśa notes here are prescribed to come together (saṃcāra) with one another. Its pentatonic treatment (auḍava / auḍavita) excludes ṛṣabha and pañcama, and the hexatonic treatment (ṣāḍava / ṣāḍavita) excludes ṛṣabha. And gāndhāra should be made strong (bahutva, i.e., amplified)”.
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).
