In the *Rāmāyaṇa* mention is made of the dramatic artists (naṭa), professional dancer (nartaka), and plays in mixed languages (Vyāmiśraka). In the *Harivaṁśa* which is a continuation of the *Mahābhārata* mention is made of players who made a drama out of the *Rāmāyaṇa* legend. The evidence of dramas being actually played in a theatre is found in the *Mahābhāshya* ‘which mentions representations of *Kaṁsa-vadha* (slaying of Kaṁsa) and the Bālibandha (binding of Bāli).²
