48 THE NATYASASTRA [ IV. 30.

30-34. The combined [movement of] hands and feet in dance is called the Karaṇa: Two Karaṇas will make one Mātṛkā, and two, three, or four Mātṛkās will make up one Aṅgahāra. Three Karaṇas will make a Kalāpaka, four a Saṇḍaka¹, and five a Saṅghātaka. Thus the Aṅgahāras consist of six, seven, eight or nine Karaṇas. I shall now speak of the hand and feet movements making up these (Karaṇas).

34-55. The Karaṇas are one hundred and eight in number and they are as follows: Talapuṣpapuṭa, Vartita, Valitoru, Apaviddha, Samanakha, Līna, Svastikarecita, Maṇḍalasvastika, Nikuṭṭaka, Ardhanikuṭṭaka, Kaṭicchinna, Ardharecita, Vakṣaḥsvastika, Unmatta, Svastika, Pṛṣṭhasvastika, Diksvastika, Alāta, Kaṭisama, Ākṣiptarecita, Vikṣiptākṣipta, Ardhasvastika, Añcita, Bhujaṅgatrāsita, Ūrdhvajānu, Nikuñcita, Mattalli, Ardhamattalli, Recakanikuṭṭita, Padāpaviddhaka, Valita, Ghūrṇita, Lalita, Daṇḍapakṣa, Bhujaṅgatrastarecita, Nūpura, Vaiśākharecita, Bhramaraka, Catura, Bhujāṅgāñcitaka, Daṇḍakarecita, Vṛścikakuṭṭita, Kaṭibhrānta, Latāvṛścika, Chinna, Vṛścikarecita, Vṛścika, Vyāṁsita, Pārśvanikuṭṭana, Latāvaṭilaka, Krāntaka, Kuñcita, Cakramaṇḍala, Uromaṇḍala, Ākṣipta, Talavilāsita, Argala, Vikṣipta, Āvṛtta, Dolapāda, Vivṛtta, Vinivṛtta, Pārśvakrānta, Niśumbhita, Vidyudbhrānta, Atikrānta, Vivartitaka, Gajakrīḍita, Talasaṁsphoṭita, Garuḍaplutaka, Gaṇḍasūcī, Parivṛtta, Pārśvajānu, Gṛdhrāvalīnaka, Saṁnnata, Sūcī, Ardhasūcī, Sūcīviddha, Apakrānta, Mayūralalita, Sarpita, Daṇḍapāda, Hariṇapluta, Preṅkholita, Nitamba, Skhalita, Karihasta, Prasarpita, Siṁhakrīḍita, Siṁhākarṣita, Udvṛtta, Upasṛta, Talasaṅghaṭṭita, Janita, Avahitthaka, Niveśa, Elakākrīḍita, Urūdvṛtta, Madaskhalita, Viṣṇukrānta, Saṁbhrānta, Viṣkambha, Udghaṭṭita, Vṛṣabhakrīḍita, Lolitaka, Nāgāpasarpita, Śakaṭāsya, Gaṅgāvataraṇa.
