Thus the treatise called \*Saṅgīta-nārāyaṇa\*¹ composed by Puruṣottama Miśra under the patronage of Nārāyaṇa Deva of Parlakimedi of the Southern Gajapati dynasty about the years 1730-1750 freely uses the earlier texts.² The most interesting of the citations in this work are the verses from Nārada’s \*Pañcama-sāra-saṃhitā\*, and Mammaṭā-carya’s \*Saṅgīta-ratnamālā\*, the original text of the latter being not yet traceable. The principal feature of the work is contributed by the descriptive prayer-formulas from various earlier authors. The author follows the six-rāga system with the following major rāgas: Bhairava, Vasanta, Mālava-kauśika, Śrī-rāga, Megha-rāga, and Naṭṭa-nārāyaṇa. - [Previous: c6.329](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.329) - [Next: c6.331](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.331) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6) ## Cites (2) - [Saṅgītanārāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.sangita.sangraha.pracina-paurava.sangitanarayana) — Gajapati Vīrasrī Nārāyaṇadeva 1675, Sanskrit - [Pañcamasārasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.sangita.prachina.pancamasarasamhita) — Nārada, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.330](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.330) · Pramāṇa
