Natyaśāstra illustrates the prayogas depending on the Karanas in the following verses. In the Angahāras the hands and feet are required to be moved and the Angahāras achieve their accomplishment through Karana. The simultaneous movement of hands and feet forms the Karana of Nṛtta i.e. Dance. Two Karaṇas of Nṛtta i.e. Dance are known as 'Nṛttamātṛkā". Angahāras is completed by two, three or four mātṛkās. The Karana of three fold mātṛkās is called Kalāpaka, of four mātṛkās is Ṣandaka, of five is called Sangātaka; Angahāras even consist of six, seven, eight or even nine mātṛkās.
