'''''Dasharupakam (Daśarūpakam)''''' is a treatise on [[Sanskrit dramaturgy]], written by Dhananjaya in the 10th century AD.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Dhanañjayakr̥taṃ Daśarūpakam,|last=Dhanañjaya|first=|publisher=Caukhambā Saṃskr̥ta Sīrīja Āphisa|year=1969|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref> The author is indebted to [[Bharata Muni|Bharata]]’s ''[[Natyashastra]]''. The ''Dasharupakam'' comprises four chapters, termed as ''Aloka''.<br />
<br />
''Dasharupakam''{{’}}s main contribution to Sanskrit dramaturgy is a detailed analysis of the different types of heroines (''Nayikabheda''), and a critical delineation of erotic sentiment (''Shringara Rasa'').<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/7317481|title=The first two lectures of the Sanhita of the Rig Veda.|date=1980|publisher=Biblio Verlag|others=Mādhava, -1386., Röer, Edward, 1805-1866.|isbn=3764810777|location=Osnabrück|oclc=7317481}}</ref> The writer has confined himself to a deep understanding of the ten types of Sanskrit dramas based upon the elements of ''Vastu'' (plot), ''Neta'' (heroes/heroines), and ''Rasa'' (the emotive aspect of plays). The influence of ''Dasharupakam'' is very evident on later Sanskrit dramaturgists{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}. The most famous commentary on the work, known as ''Avaloka'', was written by Dhanika, a younger brother of the author.<ref>{{cite book|title=History of Indian Theatre|author=Manohar Laxman Varadpande|year= 1987|publisher=Abhinav Publications|isbn=81-7017-221-7}}</ref>{{page needed|date=June 2018}}<br />
