The compilation of Raja Sir Sourindra Mohun Tagore, (one of the greatest connoisseurs and patrons of Indian Music) under the title of *Sangīta-sāra-saṃgraha*¹ and published in Samvat 1932 (1875 A.D.) offers the latest study on the old Sanskrit musical texts. His chief sources are the text of *Sangīta-ratnākara*, *Sangīta-dāmodara*, and *Sangīta-darpaṇa*. His work is of great interest for the collection of prayer formulas (*dhyānas*) of rāgas according to the three schools.
