While searching on the net for other attempts to extend the Panchasandhi structure to non-rupaka works, I came across

http://www.santasa.org/articles.php?Page=9&cat_id=1

on which in an article on प्रबंधन , the author is found to apply the model to the theory of business organization, and towards the conclusion of this part of the article, he says,

संक्षेप में दशरूपकम् में दी हुई ‘कामूआत’योजना है। मूलतः यह योजना रूपक या कथा की साहित्य विधा के लेखन की योजना है। पर आश्चर्यजनक रूप से यह परियोजना प्रबंधक के वर्तमान स्वरूप से भी अधिक उन्नत स्वरूप परियोजना प्रबंधक का देती है।

मूलतः यह योजना रूपक या कथा की साहित्य विधा के लेखन की योजना है।

I found his roopak ya kathaa kee saahitya vidhaa matching here.

Please forgive this intrusion. I just wonder if Dhananjaya's structure holds good for story or only for drama. naa.taka.m khyaatavrtta.m syaat pa;ncasandhisamanvitam is so well known that it made me inquisitive.

Dear Harsha,

https://archive.org/details/Dasarupaka has English translation of Dhananjaya's Das'aroopaka which has an elaborate discussion on how stories are structured. It is called Pancha Sandhi structure. Each Sandhi is made up of a combination of an Arthaprakriti and a Kaaryaavastha.

Kaaryaavasthas: aarambha, yatna, praaptyaas'a, niyataapti and phalaagama/phalayoga.

Arthaprakritis: beeja, bindu, pataaka, prakaree and kaarya

Sandhis :mukha, pratimukha, garbha, avamars'a and upasamhriti/nirvahaNa

There are other ways of analysing plot too in other books of Indian poetics.

Best wishes to your student.

Regards,

Nagaraj
