PURPORT

The method of inducing the audience to become more and more eager to hear by praising the time and place, the hero and the audience is called prarocana. This is the statement regarding prarocana in the Nataka-candrika:

desa-kala-katha-vastu-
sabhyadinam prasamsaya
srotrnam unmukhi-karah
kathiteyam prarocana

Similarly the Sahitya-darpana (6.286) says:

tasyah prarocana vithi
tatha prahasana-mukhe
aṅganyatronmukhi-karah
prasamsatah prarocana

Any literature presented in Sanskrit must follow the rules and regulations mentioned in the authoritative reference books. The technical inquiries by Srila Ramananda Raya and the replies of Srila Rupa Gosvami indicate that both of them were expert and fully conversant with the techniques of writing drama.
