1) Tryaśra (त्र्यश्र, “triangular”).—One of three main types of playhouses, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra 2.7-8. According to Nāṭyaśāstra 2.101-104, “By the builders, a playhouse (nāṭyamaṇḍapa) with three corners should be built, and the stage in it also should be made triangular. In one corner of the playhouse there should be a door, and a second door should be made at the back of the stage. Rules regarding walls and pillars which hold good in case of a playhouse of the square type (caturaśra), will be applicable in case of the triangular type.”

2) Tryasrā (त्र्यस्रा) refers to a specific gesture (āṅgika) made with the neck (grīvā), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8. These ‘gestures of the neck (grīvā)’ should follow the gestures made with the head (śiras). These gestures form a part of the histrionic representation (abhinaya).

context information

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.
