travels etc.), parit (lapidary art) and erat: (the knowledge of planting, nourishing and diagnosing trees).
Finally there are games in which skill was deemed necessary for the entertaining as well as enjoying: 36+ (playing drums etc. in water), 3E#TETA: (sprinkling water), #90 l aqarafet: (gamble on live things), Tir OTETTAA (teaching birds like parrots to speak and carry messages), 3767THFCT2794 (making syllabic language for private talks), quoTefTiT (making carts of flowers), afast: and 3174 TST (gambling) and 5*15971 (knowing playing balls, dolls etc. to help children).
There are three more arts for self-development, self-defence and life. They are a f i fahi # (code of etiquette and modesty), fupiti faci (science of obtaining victory) and व्यायामिकीनां विद्यानां ज्ञानम् (knowledge of the science connected with physical exercises like hunting).
This list of Kalās has been explained along with many other lists by Dr. A. Venkatasubbiah and E. Müller in an article named 'The Kalās' (J. R. A. S. 1914 pp. 351-367). But reference may be made here to two more lists given by Kșemendra in Kalāvilāsa and by Dandin in Dasakumāracarita.
Kşemendra mentions 64 arts. of the harlots: Tega Tofah UTETU MTG: fiz: (p. 56). Of these, except nrtyakalā, gitakalā panakalā, none are similar to those quoted above. These are simply the characteristics of harlots like weeping, cheating and so on. But they are interesting from our point of view because the heroines in the SMK show mastery in some of the arts mentioned herein. For instance Devadatta (5th tale) practises mrtopamakalā, and also tirtha-viharana-kalā.
In the Dasakumāracarita (Book II) also we get a list of arts and sciences in which a ganikā is trained to bring her profession to a successful end.
The second group of Kalās which is referred to in the SMK by the term 'Ubhaya' is the group of 64 Pāñcāliki Vidyās described in
ne Samprayogika-Adhikarana by Vatsyāyana in the Kämasitra. These are intimately connected with sexual relations.
