V. EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND ART Dhanapāla has followed Kautilya' and Dandin? in recognising the number of lores as four. These four lores (i.e. philosophy, the triad of Vedas, economics-agriculture, animal husbandry etc. and the science of politics) form the basis of the secondary lores which actually emanate through them. He has referred to Kāmasūtra Vidyā" as another lore which actually emanates from the sections dealing with Kāma also known as ratitantra, the third of the values of life, available in Purāna' and itihāsa" (Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata) which derive their source of inspiration from the triad of Vedas. He has further emphasised the specialisation of the science of politics particularly for the king' in whose case it acts the role of a female porter (Pratihārī). Nātyavedal the science of histrionics has also been referred to (most probably alluding to the Nātyaśāstra of Bharata and his followers). Science of Logic'" (Tarkavidyā) forming part of philosophy has been referred to as a special branch of knowledge and subject of study.
Ayurveda" or the science of medicine as an auxiliary branch of lore, deriving its source from the fourth Veda (i.e. Atharvaveda) which also contains the dicta connected with the secret lore of charms and spells.
Naupracāravidyā'!2 the science connected with the sailing of boats and ships.
'Nimittaśāstra's or the science of omens has also been referred to as a special subject of study.
