Translation.—"Gandharva" music is the music that has come down to us from times immemorial. Its only object is the salvation of man. It is sung and played by the Gandharvas (celestial Musicians) only. The music which is composed by our learned men and which has modern rules and which is expressed in deshi ragas is called "gana". It is intended to please men.
