260. (10-a) (Question) (1) Where is the origin of seven svars (musical notes) ? (2) What is the origin or genus of song ? (3) What is the length of breath (utterance in one breath) (of a song) ? How many are the special tones of a song) ? (43)
(Answer) (1) The place of origin of seven svars (musical notes) is navel. (2) Wailing is the origin or genus of song. (3) The length of breath (utterance in one breath) of a song is same as the metrical quarter of a stanza. (4) There are three special tones of a song. (44)
Soft at the beginning, raise to high at the middle, and end with low tone. Thus a song has three special tones. (45) गीतगायक की योग्यता का निरूपण (१०. आ) छद्दोसे अट्ठ गुणे तिण्णि य वित्ताणि दोण्णि भणितीओ।
