The correct answer is
Upangavidhaan
The question is about identifying which term from Bharata's Natyashastra describes the movements of smaller body parts, as discussed in Chapter VIII. Let's analyze the options:
- Shariraja: In the Natyashastra, "Sharira" refers to the body. However, this term does not specifically relate to the movements of smaller body parts.
- Mukhaja: This term relates to facial expressions or movements originating from the face. It is not specifically aligned with smaller body parts since it focuses on expressions.
- Upangavidhaan: The term 'Upanga' refers to the minor limbs or smaller parts of the body. In Bharata's Natyashastra, 'Upangavidhaan' specifically describes the movements and positions of these smaller body parts. Thus, this matches the description given in the question.
- Cheshtakrita: This is not a term directly associated with the movements of smaller body parts in the Natyashastra.
After examining each option, it is clear that the correct answer is Upangavidhaan, as it specifically refers to the movement of smaller body parts, as described in Bharata's Natyashastra Chapter VIII.
Therefore, the correct answer is Upangavidhaan.
