Sri: 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.
