Bharata’s sons, trained by him in Nāṭyaveda later on began to perform the \*śilpakas\* of rustic nature (\*grāmyadharmaka\*) and presented the life and deeds of the sages residing in the vicinity of Himalayas by the way of \*viḍambana\* (caricature) and \*vyaṅgyakaraṇa\* (satire). The sages being laughed at in this way got infuriated and cursed the actors to be expelled from the divine region of the Himalayas and to become \*śūdras\*. But again Bharata Muni gets his sons reconciled to their predicament through discussion. - [Previous: c5.s7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s7.8) - [Next: c5.s8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s8.1) - [Up: c5.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s7.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s7.9) · Pramāṇa
