3.367

As in the Vīrabhadravijṛmbhaṇa:
“You are a master of dance through the grace of friends like you!
Ah, what is this weary toil of singing? Your throat has become cracked today!”
“Understood, understood! You mock me with words pregnant with hidden meaning!”
“Do not speak thus! For you are the teacher; your deed is the standard in this matter.”

3.367.p1

Here, because the mutual praise of the actor and the stage manager, which actually has a contrary meaning, proceeds solely to create laughter, it is deceitful banter (prapañca).
