Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraŚuṣkāpakṛṣṭa (शुष्कापकृष्ट) refers to one of the ten practices performed after the removal of the stage curtain, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 5. It can also be spelled as Śuṣkāvakṛṣṭa. Accordingly, “When an avakṛṣṭā-dhruvā is composed with meaningless sounds it is called śuṣkāvakṛṣṭā; it indicates verses for the Jarjara.”.
Performing the śuṣkāpakṛṣṭa preliminary pleases the host of Pitṛs (ancestors). According to Nāṭyaśāstra 5.57-58, “The performance of the Preliminaries which means worshipping (pūjā) the gods (devas), is praised by them (i.e. gods) and is conducive to duty, fame and long life. And this performance whether with or without songs, is meant for pleasing the Daityas and the Dānavas as well as the gods.”
