In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Vadhita (वधित) refers to one of the various “ornaments for the wrist”, classified under the heading Āhārya (“ornaments”), according to the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa (Vol. II, p.482) and the Saṅgītārṇavacandrika (1995: p.219). Puruṣottama Miśrā first makes a general classification of ornaments (āhārya); then he gives the definitions for each along with a few examples. This is followed by the names of ornaments that are to be worn on different body parts. [...] Puruṣottama Miśra lists out all these ornaments [e.g., Vadhita] and then says that each of these ornaments has been described in detail in the work ‘Kohalīya’. And therefore, he says, he shall not be venturing to do the same for fear that his work will become too unwieldy in size.
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).

Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
Sanskrit dictionary
Source: DDSA: Paia-sadda-mahannavo; a comprehensive Prakrit Hindi dictionary (S)Vadhita (वधित) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit words: Vaḍḍhia, Vahāvia, Vahia.
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.
