The way of conveying inner feelings and emotions through sound associated with rhythm, melody and harmony is simply understood as Music. It is a kind of performing art which has been being practised through the ages. In Sanskrit, the word 蝉补峁僩墨迟补 is used to denote the entire compass of Music.^[1]

In the 厂补峁僩墨迟补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 of 厂腻谤补峁単补诲别惫补 it is said that鈥�

驳墨迟补峁� 惫腻诲测补峁� 迟补迟丑腻 苍峁泃迟补峁� 迟谤补测补峁� 蝉补峁僩墨迟补mucyate.^[2]

That means, the 厂补峁僩墨迟补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 includes:

1. 驳墨迟补 i.e., vocal Music,
2. 惫腻诲测补 i.e., instrumental Music and
3. 苍峁泃迟补 i.e., Dance under the jurisdiction of 蝉补峁僩墨迟补 i.e., Music.

Moreover, according to the 厂补峁僩墨迟补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补, 驳墨迟补 i.e., vocal Music is the main constituent of 蝉补峁僩墨迟补.^[3]

The derivation of the term 驳墨迟补 is found in the 艢补产诲补办补濒辫补诲谤耻尘补 补蝉鈥�

g墨yate iti 驳墨迟补峁�^[4]

I.e., vocal Music is that which is sung.

Moreover, a specific definition of 驳墨迟补 is also found in the Sa峁叢的�迟补d膩modara of 艢耻产丑补峁卥补谤补 as鈥�

诲丑腻迟耻尘腻迟耻蝉补尘腻测耻办迟补峁� 驳墨迟补mityucyate budhai岣�/
tatra n膩d膩tmako 诲丑腻迟耻r尘腻迟耻r补办峁�a谤补蝉补帽肠补测补岣�//^[5]

From the above definition, it can be seen that in the Sa峁叢的�迟补d膩modara, the word 驳墨迟补 is taken to denote instrumental and vocal Music together by applying the words 诲丑腻迟耻 and 尘腻迟耻 respectively. It is more clear from the second line of the definition. According to this line, 诲丑腻迟耻 is said as 苍腻诲腻迟尘补办补 i.e., which belongs to 苍腻诲补 i.e., sound^[6] and 尘腻迟耻 is said as 补办峁�a谤补蝉补帽肠补测补 i.e., which gathers words in it. So, it can be said that 诲丑腻迟耻 denotes Music through instrument or we can say that instrumental music which creates sound and 尘腻迟耻 denotes vocal Music which holds syllables or words. Moreover, the Sa峁叢的�迟补d膩modara accepts two kinds of 驳墨迟补 viz., yantra and 驳腻迟谤补.^[7] Yantra denotes Music originated from instruments like 惫别峁嘘, 惫墨峁嚹� etc. as well as 驳腻迟谤补 denotes vocal Music which is originated in mouth.^[8] In the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 also a detailed discussion on the three parts of Music viz., vocal Music, instrumental Music and Dance is found. In this present chapter the vocal Music and the instrumental Music are discussed together where as Dance is discussed separately in another chapter of this dissertation.
