Javali - Sakhi Shyamale

Follow
Deepthi shree Bhat

Classical art forms are not just to connect with the super soul almighty, also to represent the hiccups and hurdles of daily life. Javalis are the Bharathanatyam items depicting the love of laymen. The challenging items for the dancers in terms of expressions(Abhinaya).

In this particular Javali, a friend of heroine cheats her by getting united with her husband. She takes advantage of the trust of heroine(Nayika). This type of Nayika is Anyasambhogaduḥkhitā as mentioned in Śṛṅgāramañjarī, to be more specific Dūtīsambhogaduḥkhitā. Here Dūtī is none other than her Sakhī. Other classifications of Nayika are, Sweeya, Uttama and Virahotkanthita.

Special Note:
Anyasaṁbhogaduḥkhitā: This Nāyikā who is an independent type to Bhānudatta is taken by the
author of Śṛṅgāramañjarī in Khaṇḍitā subclass. He says that the older writers considered only the
Dūtīsambhogaduḥkhitā as the Anyasambhogaduḥkhitā. He says it is a variety of the Khaṇḍitā
due to the fact that she exhibits her resentment not to her erring lover, but, in his absence to her
own friends and messengers – NāyakaParokṣamduḥkhitā.

Anyasambhogaduḥkhitā is the one who is pained due to the following reasons:
✓ At her lover’s sport with other messenger (DūtīSambhoga)
✓ At his attempts at such sport with her messenger (Dūtīsamāsakti)
✓ At the news of her lover’s sport with any other Nāyikā (ItaraNāyikāratiśravana)

Anyasambhogaduḥkhitā has varieties like,
✓ Dūtīsambhogaduḥkhitā (One upset due to the lover’s attempt to enjoy the Dūtī)
✓ Itararatiśrutikhinnā (one who is upset on hearing the lover having enjoyed the company
of other Nāyikā)
✓ Irṣyāgarvitā (one who is, out of her jealousy at her lover’s relation with another lady,
gives vent to her angry and haughty words before of others.
