Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Indian Classical Music is highly influenced by the Nāṭyaśāstra, the Saṃgītaratnākara etc. As the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa follows the Nāṭyaśāstra in a great extent, this work also influences somehow the Indian classical Music. Actually the elements of Music such as the seven notes viz. ṣaḍja, ṛṣabha, gāndhāra etc., tāna, mūrcchanā etc. as found in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa are regarded as the primary components of Indian Music. Moreover, the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa catagorises string instrument, wind instrument, solid instrument and percussion instrument as tata, suṣira, ghana and avanaddha respectively.
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).
