[ दूत्याश्रयं यदा तु स्यादृतुकालादि दर्शनम् । औत्सुक्यचिन्तासंबद्धं न नृत्तं तत्र योजयेत् ॥] यस्मिन्नङ्गे प्रसादं तु गृह्नीयान्नायिका क्रमात् । ततःप्रभृति नृत्तं तु शेषेष्वङ्गेषु योजयेत् ॥ ३१०॥

sanskrit

When there is a message from the messenger or when the appearance of a season or similar event is observed, the dance should not be performed if the sentiment is associated with eagerness or anxiety. In the context of the heroine, when she receives a token of affection, she should hold it in her hand and, from that moment onwards, the dance should be applied to the remaining limbs or movements.
