In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraSvādhīnabhartṛkā (स्वाधीनभर्तृका) refers to “one having her husband in subjection” and represents a type of mistress (nāyikā), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 24. The different nāyikās, or ‘heroines’ of dramatic plays (nāṭaka) are defined according to the rules of king’s etiquette to women.
Accordingly, “a woman whose husband captivated by her pleasing qualities as well as by intense pleasure of love (surata) from her, stays by her side, is a heroine (nāyikā) having the husband in subjection (svādhīnabhartṛkā)”.

Chapter 24 of the Nāṭyaśāstra and chapter II of Abhinaya-sara-samputa speak of these aṣṭanāyikās [viz., Svādhīnabhartṛkā] in detail.

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).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
