430	THE NATYASASTRA	[ XXIII. 129

Three kinds of crown

129. [In the masks] crowns for the gods and kings are of three kinds: Pārśvagata (= Pārśvamauli), Mastakī and Kirīṭī.¹

130. For the gods [in general], the Gandharvas, the Yakṣas, the Pannagas (Nāgas) and the Rākṣasas the crowns of the Pārśvamauli (Pārśvagata) type have been prescribed¹.

131. And the Kirīṭī crown has been prescribed for the superior gods, and the middling gods are to have crown of the Mauli (= Mastakī?) type, while the common (lit. inferior) gods are to have crowns of the Pārśvamauli¹ type.

132-133. The kings should be given crowns of the Mastakī type. While the Vidyādharas, the Siddhas and Cāraṇas¹ should be provided with crowns made up of locks of hairs (keśa-mukuṭa).

133-134. The masks of ministers, Kañcukins (armour bearer), leaders of the merchants' guild, and priests should be furnished with turbans¹.

134-135. And the masks of the army-leaders (senāpati) and the crown-prince should be combined with a small crown (ardha-mukuṭa, lit. half-crown).

135-136. As for the rest [of persons] the head [in the mask] should be treated in dramatic production in relation to their habitation, birth and age.

136-137. The heads of boys should be adorned with the Śikhaṇḍa¹ and that of the sages should have a crown of matted hair (jaṭā-mukuṭa).
