The story bappens in almost all cases to centre round immoral conjugal happiness. The action of rakes are all well set forth for public criticism.
PRAHASANA,
The Prahagana copies the Bhaqa to some extent but fandamentally differs from it in that the hisyu sentiment forms the predominant factor in this. As in the Bhåņa, läsya, a variety of Acting is the principal feature of this also. The characters are all generally loafers.
DIMA.
The story of the Dima is usually a familiar one. The heroes Are generally Devas, Gandharyas, Yakgas, etc. Things exciting our wonder are all shown in the course of the draina. It should consist of 4 acts. The sentiments associated with it are all omitting bäsya and brågära. :'
VYĀYOGA.
Here too the story is a familiar one. The cbaracters are ale mostly bigh-handed persons. The drama consists of only one act and the whole action of the drama must be such as could not bave taken more than a single day in actual life.
SAMAVĀKĀRA. The story is ngjally a familjar. Puränis story. The hero
