SAHRDAYĀLOKA Bharata (vs. 36) observes that action in a drama should have four (types of) patākāsthānaka-s and the dramatic action must have five sandhi-s.
"catuspatākā-paramam nāțake kāryam isyate, pañcabhiḥ sandhibhir yuktam, tāns ca vaksyāmy
ataḥ param." The 'Avaloka' on DR. I. 14 observes that, “patākā-prasangāt patākāsthānakam api vyutpādayati.” DR. I. 14 (p. 13, ibid) has -
"prastutā”gantu-bhāvasya vastuno'nyókti-sūcanam, patākāsthānakam tulya
samvidhāna-visesaņam.” (p. 13) - The Avaloka on this reads as - "prākaranikasya” bhāvinórthasya sūcana-rūpam patākāvad bhavati'ti patākā-sthānakam. tac ca tulyétivștta-tayā, tulya-visesanatayā ca dvi-prakāram-anyóktisamāsókti-bhedāt. samāsókteh sakāśād anyókter bhedāt". Thus only two varieties are hinted at in the DR. as against four in the NS. the Laghutikā explains further : tatrā"ha-samāsokteh sakāśād anyókter bhedad iti. - samāsókter vilaksanaiva anyóktih. samksipyoktih samāsóktih ity etāvati samāsóktih samāse saty api anyapratītim anyasyóktir anyóktir iti tayor bhedaḥ.
The N.S. (XIX. 37-49) treats of five junctures - sandhi-pañca-here after first treating the five stages - 'pañcā'vasthāh' - of dramatic action. The DR. also follows the same order.
In the NS., the five avasthā-s - pañcā'vasthāh - are treated at Ch. XIX. vs. 7-16 as follows:
"samsādhye phalayoge tu vyāpāraḥ kāraṇasya yaḥ tasyā’nupūrvyā vijñeyāḥ pancā’vasthāḥ prayoktņbhiḥ.” - (vs. 7) prārambhaś ca prayatnaś ca tathā prāpteś ca sambhavaḥ, niyatā ca phala-prāptiḥ phala-yogaś ca pañcamaḥ.” (vs. 8)
