	'''''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''~~.		'''''Dasharupakam (Daśarūpakam)''''' is a treatise on the structure and rules (''Lakshana'' or ''Prakarana'' grantha) for popular theatre and drama presentations of the time, 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> Several techniques and methods presented in the Natyashastra and Dasharupakam are very much in use in today's theatre. The author starts with salutations, among others, to [[Bharata Muni\|Bharata]] the author of''[[Natyashastra]]'', whose detailed exposition he bases his work on. He however in his own words says that he has attempted to present the same in an ordered and concise fashion in his book, so it can be consumed by common folk. ''Rupakam'' means one that has a form and can be seen - essentially referring to theatre and drama performances. He uses the same word used by [[Bharata Muni\|Bharata]] to refer to his work, and defines ten types of theatre performances - DashaRupakam - Ten Forms of Plays.

	~~''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}}~~		In the course of describing the forms of the plays, the author discusses, the subjects of ''Vastu''(Plot), ''Netaa''(the protagonist), and the ''Rasa'' (the emotive aspect) - which are essential to a play.

	==ten ~~rupakas~~ according to ~~dasarupaka~~==		The ''Dasharupakam'' comprises four chapters,<ref>{{Cite book\|title=Dhanañjayavirachitam Daśarūpakam (Sanskrit),\|last=Kashinatha Panduranga Parav\|first=\|publisher=Unknown\|year=1819\|isbn=\|location=https://archive.org/details/dasarupakam00dhanuoft\|pages=}}</ref> each termed as ''Prakaasha'', and has about 300 ''karikaas'' (verses) in total, as opposed to the 6000 of the ''[[Natyashaastra]]''. In the field of Sanskrit literature it is tradition to use unique word to refer to each chapter in a book. (Other terms used elsewhere include ''Ullaasas'', ''Parichedaas'', ''Udyota'' etc.). The author treats ''Nrutyam'',''Nruttham '' as components of a ''rupakam' only (play);

			The first chapter describes the rules for rupakam, they key elements of Drama (''Vastu''-the plot, ''Netaa''(the protagonist), and ''Rasa'' (the emotive aspect)). Then discusses the types and characteristics of the ''Plot''
			The second chapter explains the characteristics that the ''Netaa'' (protagonist) heroes and heroines must possess. (neta)
			The third chapter discusses the ten types of drama.
			The fourth chapter discusses ''Rasa'' in detail. However the author also states that since ''Rasa'' is a heavy subject - he will only present concise descriptions

			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}}. Dhanika has worked to collect example verses from various plays of the time for each rule or ''lakshana''. (such as Ratnavali, Mrucchakatikam, Venisamhara, Mahaveeracharitam etc.) and add to this book.
