70 THE NĀTYAŚĀSTRA [ IV. 279-

  1. Then she should go round the stage scattering flowers from her hands to gods, and after bowing to them, she should make use of different gestures (abhinaya).

  2. Instrumental music should not be played when there is any song to be delineated by gestures, but at the performance of Aṅgahāras drums must be employed.

  3. The playing of drums (lit. instrumental music) during the Class Dance should be Sama, Rakta, Vibhakta and distinctly heard (sphuṭa) on account of clear strokes and should be properly following different aspects of the dance.

  4. After following the song [with her dance] the dancer should make her exit and others [like her] will enter [the stage] in the same manner.

  5. These other women will in due order form Piṇḍīs¹ and till all these are formed they will perform the Paryastaka.

  6. After forming [Piṇḍīs] these women will make their exit, and during the formation of the Piṇḍīs an instrumental music which has various Oghas and Karaṇas should be played, and it should be similar to the music at the time of the Paryastaka.

285-287. Then this Upohana should be again performed as before and the Āsārita too; a song also should be sung and a female dancer should enter the stage in the manner described before, and she should delineate [the meaning of the song in the second Āsārita by suitable gesture] and translate the subject-matter (vastu)¹ into a dance.

  1. After finishing the Āsārita the female dancer should make her exit, and then another female dancer should enter the stage and make a similiar performance.

  2. Thus at every step the rules of Āsārita should be followed by singers as well as players of the instrumental music.
