Dear Patrick,
in Indian dance technique, the proper Sanskrit word for "arrai mandi" is ardhamaNDalI.

Dear Friends,
Mostly just for a bit of fun I am translating a
video of a friend's yoga class from her website into
Sanskrit. Having transcribed her instructions I am now in
the process of translating it. This is also part of a larger
(side)-project to look at the 'grammar of yoga
classes'. I am trying to build up a corpus of linguistic
material from yoga classes. I will eventually add to the
video transliterated subtitles and a dubbed audio channel as
well.
My question for the list is: how you might
translate plié, as in a plié
squat.
Below are some terms for 'squatting'
in spokensanskrit.de, but
I'm curious to know if there is a more closer way to
translate it than the options below.
उत्कुटकutkuTakaadj.squattingपर्यङ्कबद् धparyaGkabaddhaadj. squattingपल्यङ्कpalyaGkam. squatting
I'm wondering if there is a
bhāratanāṭyam term that might get closer. My
current choice is: arrai mandi, however, as someone
who has 0% knowledge of Tamil, I'm not sure if I have
transliterated this correctly OR if it is the best choice of
dance positions that represents a plié
squat.
Thanks in advance.
All
the best,
