Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraVyāyoga (व्यायोग) refers to one of the “ten kinds of dramatic plays” (daśarūpa), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 20. These different types of dramas are considered to have originated from the various styles (vṛtti), which is discussed in chapter 22 of the same work. The Vyāyoga type of drama includes the following styles: Verbal (bhāratī), Grand (sāttvatī) and Energetic (ārabhaṭī).
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraVyāyoga (व्यायोग).—One of the ten types of play (nāṭya).—The Vyāyoga is a play with a well-knownn Hero and a small number of female characters. The events related in it are to be of one day’s duration. It is to have one Act only and to include battle, personal combat, challenge and angry conflict.
The Vyāyoga and the Īhāmṛga are to have three segments (sandhi). There should be no Development (garbha) and Pause (avamarśa—vimarśa) in these two. and the Graceful Style (kaiśikī) also has no place in them.

The sentiment should be dṛpta. Though dṛpta is not included in the list of nine rasas, the Abhinavabhāratī clarifies that dṛptarasa is endowed with ojaguṇa and it is originated from vīra and raudra sentiments
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).
