ASSERTIONS:
  - [structural] In śuddhā jātis, nyāsa on the naming svara is prescribed to be mandra (low)
    -- p.vol_II_p011 "तासु नामकारी यो न्यासः [स] नियमेन मन्त्रो भवति"
  - [structural] In vikṛtā jātis, nyāsa on the naming svara can be either tāra (high) or mandra (low) without fixed rule
    -- p.vol_II_p011 "विकृतासु च नामकरी [न्यासः] तारो वा मन्द्रो वा भवतीत्यनियमः"
  - [definition] Nyāsa is defined as that svara on which or by which a song is abandoned or concluded
    -- p.vol_II_p019 "न्यस्यते त्यज्यते यस्मिन् येन वा गीतं तत्र्यास इति"
  - [definition] Nyāsa is the point at which a gita (tonal structure) is placed, left, or ended
    -- p.vol_II_p020 "with which gita (tonal structure) is 'placed', left or ended is nyāsa."
  - [structural] Nyāsa is twenty-one in number
    -- p.vol_II_p020 "That nyāsa is twenty-one in number."
  - [structural] Nyāsa occurs at the end of anga (body of tonal structure)
    -- p.vol_II_p020 "Nyāsa occurs at the end of anga (lit.body) and that should be made twenty-onefold."
  - [structural] In gāndhārapañcamī, gāndhāra is the desired nyāsa (cadential note)
    -- p.vol_II_p023 "न्यासो गान्धार इष्यते"
  - [structural] There is no vikṛtā state that comes about by a change in the nyāsa
    -- p.vol_II_p030 "The statement 'excepting the nyāsa' means that there is no vikṛtā state that comes about by (a change in) the nyāsa."
  - [relation] Gāndhāra is the nyāsa on account of being a svara-jāti
    -- p.vol_II_p036 "स्वरजातित्वाद् गान्धारो न्यासः,"
  - [structural] Gāndhāra functions as the nyāsa in raktagāndhārī jāti
    -- p.vol_II_p039 "Gāndhāra is the nyāsa in this (jāti)."
  - [relation] When ni and dha are aṁśas, pancama alone functions as nyāsa; otherwise gāndhāra-niṣāda svaras serve as nyāsas
    -- p.vol_II_p040 "When ni and dha are the amsas, then pancama alone is the nyāsa; otherwise the svaras with two śrutis (gāndhāra-niṣāda) are known to be nyāsas."
  - [structural] Pañcama functions as the nyāsa in śuddhakaiśika rāga
    -- p.vol_II_p055 "पञ्चमो न्यासः"
  - [structural] nyāsa is a structural element; in Bhinnakaisikamadhyama, madhyama serves as nyāsa
    -- p.vol_II_p058 "Madhyama is the nyāsa."
  - [relation] nyāsa is a structural feature of bhāṣā melodies
    -- p.vol_II_p079 "Having ṣaḍja as its nyāsa"
  - [relation] nyāsa is a structural feature paired with aṁśa in the formation of bhāṣās
    -- p.vol_II_p088 "Combined with ṣaḍja as aṁśa and nyāsa, weak in dhaivata"
  - [structural] nyāsa is a concluding or resting note in a bhāṣā, as exemplified by pañcama in bhāvinī
    -- p.vol_II_p089 "Bhāvinī has pañcama as nyāsa"
  - [definition] Nyāsa refers to the concluding note in bhāṣā classification, used in defining Sādhāritā with madhyama as nyāsa
    -- p.vol_II_p095 "षड्ज?ांशा मध्यमन्यासा"
  - [structural] nyāsa is a technical term used to characterize rāgas alongside graha
    -- p.vol_II_p110 "गान्धारग्रहन्यासा च षड्ज?ांशा तारवर्ज?िता"
  - [structural] Nyāsa can operate in the mandra (low) range, as evidenced in the sixth vidārī of dhaivatī which ends with the lower dha.
    -- p.vol_II_p157 "The operation of nyāsa in the mandra range could be seen in the sixth vidārī of dhaivatī, which ends with the lower 'dha'."
  - [structural] Nyāsa in ṣāḍjī is ṣaḍja, whose position changes based on which svara serves as the aṁśa
    -- p.vol_II_p158 "In ṣāḍjī, the nyāsa is ṣaḍja which will be the first when sadja is amsa, the sixth when gandhara is amsa, the fifth when madhyama is amsa, the fourth when pañca"
