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.
(-Shreyas)
