	Madhurima's Page - Sanskrit Drama
		The theory of Natya says that "the tragedy that precedes or follows death need not be visually represented but the impression of death may be ivoked by the use of pathos (karuna)".
		In Natya shastra not only were rules set for enactment of roles but also for the audience responses.For example a comic scene should evoke a half-smile, a well enacted virtue should be responded by sounds of "excellent", a scene of wonderment by "how wonderful" and a scene of pathos by "how pathetic" etc.
		The decline of Sanskrit drama is attributed to the Muslim invasions.

		Natya means visual representation (abhinaya) in its fourfold forms such as using parts of the physical body (angika), verbal utterances (vacika), costumes and ornaments (aharya) and physical signs of mental states (satvika).
		In Natya Sastra 'bhava' is used as a technical word to relate to the mental states as responsible for producing rasa for the spectator through a combination of kinds of (abhinaya) gestures.
		Though he considers natya to be effective as a result of performance, he makes a detailed analysis of how the performance which is not realistic and identical with the world of reality for both the actor and spectator are made real in a virtual manner.
