Kakshā-vibhāge jñeyāni gṛihāṇi nagarāṇi cha ।
Udyānārāma sarid-āśramā aṭavī tathā ॥
Pṛithivī sāgarāś chaiva trailokyaṁ sacharācharam ।
Varshāṇi sapta-dvipāś cha parvatā vividhās tathā ॥
Alokaś chaiva lokaś cha rasātalamathāpi cha ।
Daityānāṁ ālayaś chaiva gṛihāṁ bhuvanaṁ cha ॥
Nagare cha vane chāpi varshe vai parvate tathā ।
Yatra vārthā pravarteta tatra kakshāṁ prayojayet ॥
Bāhyaṁ vā madhyamaṁ vāpi tathaivābhyantaraṁ punaḥ ।
Dūraṁ vā sannikishṭaṁ vā deśaṁ tu parikalpayet ।
(*Nāṭya-śāstra*, ed. Joan Grosset, Paris, 1898.)
