Characteristics of Bhāna. .
[Dr. Bhat adds : (foot-note) : Bharata does not prescribe the number of acts for Prahasana. Abhinava mentions an opinion that a suddha prahasana is a one-act, the Sankīrṇa, on account of the provenance of courtesans etc. will have many acts.)
DR. (p. 159, III. 54-56) reads as, tadvat prahasanam tredhā śuddha-vaikyta-sankarai). (śuddham) - pāşandi-vipra-prabhști-ceta-ceți-vițā”kulam.

(p. 290, III. 268, b.; - 278, 279; pp. 297) "vastu-sandhyanka-lāsyānga-vịttayo yatra bhāņavat tridhā śuddham kirņam vaiktam ca tacca prahasanam." (268b) śuddham śrotriya-vākyāder vesa-bhāsādi-samyutam. (278) ceța-ceți-jana-vyāptam kīrṇam laksyam nirūpyatām, ānanda-kośa-pramukham vaikstam tad udáhrtiḥ. (279) SD. (p. 449, 450; VI. 264-268) reads as - bhāņavat-sandhi-sandhyanga-lāsyāngānkair vinirmitam, bhavet prahasanam vȚttam, nindyānām kavikalpitam. (264) atra nā”rabhati nā’pi visambhaka-praveśakau, angi hāsyarasas tatra vīthyangānām sthitir na vā. (265)
