presentation of model works (pusta) drawings, and dresses, and relates to some condensed matter.

Commotion

59. Commotion (avapāta) is known to relate to the occurrence of fear and jubilation, panic, flurry, many kinds of speaking, quick entrance and exist¹.

Raising the Theme

60. That deed which is represented as being connceted with panic or no panic, and includes a combination of all the Sentiments is called the Raising the Theme (vastūtthāpana)¹.

Conflict

61. Conflict (sampheṭa) is known to include excitement, many fights, personal combats, deception, split and [mutual] striking of weapons¹.

62. These are the Styles to be reckoned by the wise in connexion with the drama. Now listen about their application in different Sentiments, which I am going to tell you.

Styles according to Sentiments

63-64. The Style in the Erotic and Comic Sentiments should be Graceful and in the Heroic, the Furious and the Marvellous Sentiments it should be Grand. And in the Terrible, the Odious and the Furious Sentiments one should use the Energetic Style, while the Verbal Style is applicable in the Pathetic and the Marvellous Sentiments¹.

65. I have spoken properly about the Histrionic Representation dependent on Words, Gestures, Temperament and the Styles. Now I shall treat of the Costumes and the Make-up used in the production of plays.

Here ends Chapter XXII of Bharata's Nāṭyaśāstra which treats of the Styles.
