Vyayoga, Indian Theatre Form
Vyayoga is the form of one act Sanskrit theatre.

Vyayoga is the form of Sanskrit theatre. The meaning of Vyayoga is actually described as intense or manifold action. It uses a well-known story for its plot, and its dramatic personae consisted mostly of males and a few females. It represented contentment, not provided by a woman. Hence it was composed without the typically feminine kaisiki i.e. graceful vritti. The hero was a celebrated personage i.e. a royal ascetic rajarshi or god of the `firm and haughty` i.e. dhiroddhata variety. Its principal rasas did not include the santa i.e. peaceful, hasya i.e. comic, and sringara i.e. erotic. Bhasa`s Madhyamavyayoga i.e. `Vyayoga of the Middle One` is the typical example, describing the exploits of Bhima overpowering Ghatotkacha in the Mahabharata.
