Srimate Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Dear Sri Sadagopan Swamy:
adiyen's dandavat pranaams for another enlightening
article.
The number Seven is also highlighted often in the
context of the sAma-vEdam and adiyen would like to
take the liberty of sharing my thoughts:
The Uttaraarchika of the sAma-samhitA is classified,
into seven parvas ? Dasharaatra, Samvatsara,
Aekah, Aheena, Satra, Praayaschitta and Kshudra.
Similarly, the prakriti-bhaagam of Saama-gaana too
has a well-known seven-fold divison:
"gAyatram prathamam gAnam aagnEyam tu dvitIyakam |
tritIyamaindra-gAnagam-syat pavamAnam chathurtakam ||
arkadvanda-vratam cheti trIni parvAni panchamam |
shashtam cha shukriam gAnam mahAnAmnI cha saptamam ||
ityEvam sAmvAdasya saptagAnanitIritam | "
(1. gAyatram, 2. aagnEyam, 3. aindram, 4. pavamAnam,
5. arka-dvanda-vrata parvam, 6 shukriyam, 7. mahanAmnI)
The seven svaras of Saama Vedam, the vaideek music, are -
prathama, dvitiya, tritIya, chaturtha, mandra, krusta, aatiswArya.
The bridging of the seven swaras of vaideek music
and the seven swaras of classical (loukeek) music
(Shadjam, Rishabham, Gaandhaaram, Madhyamam,
Panchamam, Daivatam and Nishaadam)
are discussed in the sAma-vidhAna-brAmhanA,
Rg-prAtishAkhya, and the nAradIya-shisha.
Sri Thyagaraja Swamy's enchanting "sobillu SAPTA swara" also
significant in this context.
devarIr has already covered the the seven bhaktis of sama-vedam:
Hinkaaram, Prastaavam, Omkaaram, Pratihaaram, Upadravam and Nidhanam.
adiyen ramanuja dasan.
