In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Sītkṛta (सीत्कृत) refers to one of ten “breathing techniques” (māruta) [=evaṃ daśavidhaḥ prokto mārutaḥ], as mentioned in the Saṅgītaratnākara of Śārṅgadeva (1953: Vol. IV: p.162) and the Mahārāṇa Kumbha’s Saṅgītarāja (Nṛtyaratnakośa: 1968: Vol. I: pp.94-95). The commentary of Siṃhabhūpāla (on the Saṅgītaratnākara) says that the ten-fold classification of breathing techniques [e.g., sītkṛta] are the opinion of Kohala. However, the Saṅgītaratnākara, Saṅgītarāja and Nṛtyādhyāya uniformly attribute the nine-fold classification of breathing techniques (=anila) to Kohala and the ten-fold classification to another school (apara).
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).
