Human beings express their feelings in different ways. One way is that one brings one’s vibrations from the realm of ideation down to the physical world, makes them descend to the quinquielmental world with the help of sensory and motor organs. Another way is that with the help of the subtler artistic aspects of that expression, one transports it to one’s psychic realm making use of one’s subtler sensory feelings. The feeling human beings express in the physical realm, is called worldly action. When expression is brought to the psychic realm, it is called lalita carcana [the cultivation of fine arts]. Lalita carcana is also called simply “the fine arts” or “subtler arts”. In ancient literature, the word cárukalá [cáru means “charming” and kalá means “art”] was used more often than the word lalitakalá. Women who were adept in fine arts were known in the society of Gupta age as cárushiilá. In expression through language, it is necessary to use punctuation marks in order to properly divide and join sentences, and it is necessary to construct sentences properly. Similarly, in fine arts, the need persists and will persist forever. Such measured phases of pause and action in expressions of fine arts are also called kriyá [action]. When a dancer is expressing the sampradán [offering] of something of the subtle world, he or she uses the sampradán mudrá; in some other situation, he or she uses aiṋkush mudrá [to lend dynamism to the action]. Such phases – first a phase of sampradán mudrá, then a phase of auṋkush mudrá, the one stopping and the other starting – are also known as kriyá or action.
