Trinata (त्रिनत, “bent in three”).—Vaikhānasāgama stipulates that the image of Balarāma should be trinata or bent in three. This injunction seems to have been followed by almost all sculptors. We have already referred to the kuṣāṇa figures, and in subsequent perionds too, bends at neck, hips and knee are discenible, though not so prominent.

context information

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.
