Gitashastra (science of music)
: Wisdom Library: SaṅgītaśiromaṇiԻDZī (छन्दोवती) refers to one of the twenty-two quarters tones (śܳپ) existing within an octave, according to the Saṅgīta-ratnākara (“ocean of music and dance�). This work is an important Sanskrit treatise dealing with ancient Indian musicology (Ի-śٰ), composed by Śārṅgadeva in the 13th century and deals with both Carnatic and Hindustani music. ԻDZī has a frequency of 523.2511Hz.
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (gita)ԻDZī (छन्दोवती) refers to one of the four Śܳپ of the Ṣaḍja note of the Octave in Indian Music (often described in literature as consisting of twenty-two śܳپs).—Kohala brings out different theories on the number of śܳپs. He says that some believe in twenty-two, śܳپs, some in sixty-six and others believe in infinity. Bharata and many subsequent authors including Śārṅgadeva etc. spoke of twenty-two śܳپs.—According to earlier authors like Śārṅgadeva, the Ṣaḍja note has the following śܳپs: پ, ܻܳ屹ī, Ի, ԻDZī.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, īٲśٰ) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StyleԻDZī (छन्दोवती, “metrical�).—Illustration of ԻDZī-śܳپ according to 15th century art:—The colour of her body is yellow. She holds a īṇ� in her right hand and a lotus flower in the left hand. The colour of her bodice is green. Her scarf is rosy with a red design, the lower garment is sky-blue with a red design and golden lotus.
The illustrations (of, for example ԻDZī) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this ٰ屹ī are based on the śǰ첹 of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).

Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
