In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)

Tuṭi refers to the fifth of the eleven dances (patinoraṭal) as mentioned in the Kaṭalāṭukkāṭai which is a chapter of the Cilappatikāram: an ancient epic authored by Ilango Adigal representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—The eleven dances were (viz., Tuṭi) danced by Madavi in the Indra Vila (the festival celebrating the victory of Indra). After praising Viṣṇu, four Varuna-bhutas and Tiṅkal (moon in the sky, moving for the benefit of others), the patinoraṭal (eleven dances) is said to begin.

Tuṭi description: Knowing the deceit of Sūra (demon), who stood in the middle of the sea in some strange form, Murukan defeated him and danced, making the waves the stage, beating the musical instrument called tuṭi.

context information

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).

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: academia.edu: The Evidence for Somānanda's Pantheism

Tuṭi (तुटि) refers to an “instant” (i.e., a sudden excitement that occurs in an instant), according to Somānanda’s Śivadṛṣṭi 1.7-8.—Somānanda identifies an initial moment of will, aunmukhya or “eagerness,” that stirs the moment Śiva begins to desire to create experience in the form of phenomena appearing in his consciousness. This first stirring of will, this eagerness, is a sort of sudden excitement that occurs in an instant (tuṭi), and it initiates the process of creation. As such, it may be experienced in the first moment of an action as one can see it in the moment of tension in the hand about to be closed into a fist, and so on. Insofar as will (icchā) has two parts, an initial moment in the form of eagerness (aunmukhya), and a subsequent, fully formed manifestation of will (icchā), Somānanda considers it also to be a form of action (as Utpaladeva informs us), one that is performed entirely within the movement, as it were, of consciousness.

context information

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
