    abhinaya Tatpur. 1. m. (-yaḥ) Action and postures expressive

    of sentiment, especially when exhibited in a dramatic per-

    formance; dramatic representation; it is fourfold: āṅgika

    or conveyed by bodily action, as by attitude, gesture &c.,

    vācika by speech, āhārya by dress, decorations &c. and

    sāttvika by the spontaneous manifestation of feelings, as

    by perspiration, horripilation, inarticulate speech &c.; e. g.

    Vikramorv.: lalitābhinayaṃ tamadya bhartā marutāṃ draṣṭumanāḥ sa-

    lokapālaḥ; or a quotation by the Sāhityad.: yasmādabhinayo

    hyatra prāthamyādavatāryate . raṅgadvāramato jñeyaṃ vāgaṅgābhinayā-

    tmakam. The term abhinaya as applying merely to the means

    of a dramatic representation is therefore distinct from the

    term rūpaka (and its subdivisions) q. v. which belongs to the

    contents of the representation or to the drama itself, both

    being the categories which distinguish the ‘poem to be

    seen’ from the ‘poem to be heard’; Sāhityad.: dṛśyaśravya-

    tvabhedena punaḥ kāvyaṃ dvidhā matam . dṛśyaṃ tatrābhineyaṃ tadrūpāro-

    pāttu rūpakam . bhavedabhinayo'vasthānukāraḥ sa caturvidhaḥ . ā-

    ṅgiko vācikaścaivamāhāryaḥ sāttvikastathā; (the Amarak. dis-

    tinguishes the abhinaya only as āṅgika and sāttvika; He-

    mach. has the same definition as the Sāhityad.).

    [2. n. (-yam) See the remark s. v. abhibala.] E. with

    abhi, kṛt aff. ac; Saṅgītadarpaṇa: abhipūrvastu ṇīñdhātu-

    rābhimukhyārthanirṇaye . asmātprayogaṃ nayati tasmādabhinayaḥ smṛtaḥ.

    ABHINAYA . In Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 342, Abhinaya

    has been defined as follows: Abhinaya is the art of

    presenting before the people the ideas that are to be

    communicated to them. There are four divisions of

    this art known as Sāttvika, Vācika, Āṅgika and Āhārya

    depending on Sattva, Vāk, Aṅga and Āhārya. Besides

    these, another division known as Abhimānika (Abhi-

    mānottha) may also be mentioned. This signifies the

    expression of rasas like Śṛṅgāra. There are two kinds

    of Śṛṅgāra known as Saṃbhoga and Vipralambha.

    Four varieties of Vipralambha called Pūrvānurāga

    Vipralambha, Māna Vipralambha, Pravāsa Vipra-

    lambha and Karuṇa Vipralambha are mentioned. The

    union after Vipralambha is Saṃbhoga-Śṛṅgāra. All

    Sāttvika bhāvas are included in Śṛṅgāra. All these have

    to be expressed through Abhinaya.
