This is of two kinds, of which the first, quite distinct from what is spoken of in the present treatise, is a hand movement reflecting the musical form; this expression of empathy (sddhdranl) is sometimes very impressive or graceful, but not less often grotesque. The second, known as bhav batana or shewing moods is of the type here described as abhinaya, or ' gesture ' and differs of the type here described as abhinaya, or 'gesture' and differs from Natya only in the greater relative importance of the music and the words.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46195011125399,"sku":"9788121291415","price":228.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121291415.webp?v=1769299631","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-mirror-of-gesture-being-the-abhinaya-darpana-of-nandikesvara-9788121291415","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
