Guest guest Posted July 23, 2000 Report Share Posted July 23, 2000 Dear Sri vaishnava perunthagaiyeer, Here is a quotable quote taken from the current vikrama aadi issue of the Sri ranganaatha paadhukaa [sRP] on the subject sangeetham- naadhOpaasanai- Quote: VeeNaa gaanam = mOksha vazhi (singing on the instrument veeNa is the path to liberation) the sloka is: veeNaa vaadhana thathvagna: sruthi jaathi visaaradha: ! dhaasagagnja: aprayaasEna mOksha maargam sa gachchathi !! - yaagnyavalkyar meaning as given the SRP in tamil: "sruthi layam thaaLam oththuch cheyyum veNaa gaanam arinthavan eLithil mOksham selgiraan". Unquote: To translate this in English (may be rough and does not give the essence correctly): He goes to mOksham easily (aprayaasEna), he-that person -one who knows playing music on the instrument veeNa mingled with sruthi (basic tune), layam (basic counts of music?), and thaalam (beats). Trust this clarifies Daasan vasudevan M.G. PS: Thanks to Sri Mani for his excellent clarifications on the same topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
