________________
PLACES OF ORIGIN OF SEVEN SVARS
Athough all the svars (musical notes) originate at the navel in the human body, after rising from there they get specific tone, pitch and other qualities by vibrating at other parts of the body. Therefore these apparent sources of svar are said to be the places of origin. They are as follows
(1) Shadj is produced from the beginning of the tongue (at the throat). (2) Rishabh is produced from the chest. (3) Gandhar is produced from the top of the throat. (4) Madhyam is produced from the middle of the tongue. (5) Pancham is produced from the nose. (6) Dhaivat is produced from the teeth and lips. (7) Nishad is produced from raised eyebrows.
