Dasarupa (English spelling)

The Natyaśāstra (3rd-4th century) by Bharata is the oldest and most authoritative treatise on drama, and includes everything from drama and dance to rhetoric and poetry. Dhananjaya's Daśarūpa (10th century), which summarizes this work, is also famous as a treatise on drama.
[Structure of the play]
According to theatrical treatises, Sanskrit drama has five elements: (1) a germ that brings about the development of the plot, (2) a motive that develops like oil in water, (3) an incident that expands the plot, (4) an episodic accident, and (5) a conclusion, and five stages are defined to reach this conclusion.
