In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)1) Tālalakṣaṇa (ताललक्षण) is the name of a work supposedly ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—There are four manuscripts of this name attributed to Kohala. Two are named “tālalakṣaṇam”, one is named “tālalakṣaṇam—kohalīyaṭīkā” and the last one is named “bharataśāstram”. The author of this work, Tālalakṣaṇa, as mentioned in the available manuscript catalogues and the manuscripts themselves, is Kohala. In the introduction portion it is made very clear that the author of the work is Kohalācārya. [However—] In the course of the work, we find recurring references to the name Acyuta / Acyutarāya. In [manuscript] R7979, we find [several] entries in the mūla text. [...] This clearly indicates that the work has been written by Acyuta Bhūbhujā, which is further clarified in the Telugu commentary as being Acyutarāya (Acyutabhūbhujā—Acyutarāyalacātanu).
2) Tālalakṣaṇa (ताललक्षण) also refers to a chapter of the Dattilakohalīyam, one of the works ascribed to Kohala.—The following chapters will be dealt with in this work.—nṛttalakṣaṇa; nṛtyalakṣaṇa; tālalakṣaṇa; vādyalakṣaṇa;
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.
