Sarvadarshanasangraha 6.41

6.41

Singing is the contemplation of reasons, such as qualities and attributes belonging to Maheśvara, in accordance with the rules of the musical treatises. Dancing also is to be performed according to the treatise on dramaturgy, with the lifting up and [lowering] of the hands, feet, and so forth, along with major limbs, minor limbs, and subsidiary parts, accompanied by emotional states and their absence. The huḍuk-sound is a sacred sound resembling the bellow of a bull, produced by the contact of the tongue and palate; 'huḍuk' is an onomatopoeic word, like 'vaṣaṭ'. Where worldly people are present, all this is to be performed secretly; the rest is well known. The doors, however, are pretending to be asleep, trembling, limping, exhibiting lust, acting improperly, and speaking nonsense. Among them, pretending to be asleep is showing signs of sleep even when one is not asleep. Trembling is shaking the limbs of the body as if seized by a wind disorder. Limping is walking as if the power of one's feet were damaged. Exhibiting lust is when, upon seeing a lovely woman endowed with beauty and youth, one displays oneself as if amorous through gestures. Acting improperly is doing deeds censured by the world as if devoid of discernment between what is to be done and what is not to be done. Speaking nonsense is uttering contradictory, meaningless, or similar words. The secondary injunction, however, is an aid to conduct, such as subsequent ablution, for the purpose of removing the notion of impurity caused by alms, remnants of food, and the like. That too has been stated by the author of the sūtras: 'Possessing subsequent ablution and wearing the remnants of offering as mark.'
