Nāṭyaśāstra is a Sanskrit treatise on the performing arts. The text is attributed to sage Bharat. Though in this text name of the Bharata is not mentioned anywhere. As we all know Nāṭyaśāstra has 36 chapters but in this text is basically discussed only prekṣāgṛhalakṣaṇa and raṅgadevatāpūjā. So, the original text is incomplete but the manuscript is complete.
