Pañcama is kṛṣṇa (black),
dhaivata is yellow-coloured, this niṣāda is multi-
coloured, (thus) should be known the colours of svaras.
(74)
(iii) Devatās.
The daivata 83 (presiding deity) of şadja is Brahmā, ṛṣabha is with the daivata
vahni (fire),
gandhara has Bharati as its deva,
madhyama is with Hara as daivata.
(75)
Pañcama is with Satayajña (Indra is its daivata)3,
dhaivata is with Gaṇa-nāyaka
(as its daivata), niṣāda, on the other hand, has Bhānu (Sun) as its deva; thus are
(76)
the devatā84 of svaras.
(iv) Singers (seers).
The svara şadja is sung ('seen')85 by Agni (fire), ṛṣabha is revealed by
Brahmā,
gāndhāra is sung by Soma (moon),
madhyama svara (is revealed) by
Vișnu.
(77)
On the other hand,
the svara pancama is sung by the mahatman (great-
souled) Nārada51,
the svaras dhaivata and niṣāda are 'sung' by Tumburu.42
(78)
(v) Rasas
The two svaras
madhyama and
pañcama should be 'made'86 (used) in the two
(rasas) hāsya and śṛṅgāra, the two (svaras) şadja and ṛṣabha should be known in
(79)
vira, raudra and adbhuta rasas.
Gāndhāra and niṣāda should be 'done' in karuņa rasa.
Dhaivata should also
(80)
be 'done' (used) in bibhatsa and
bhayānaka.
(vi) Sthānas
Ṣadja arises from the throat, 67 rṣabha is known (to arise) from the cerebrum,
gāndhāra from the nose,
madhyama svara from the chest.
(81)
Pañcama svara is arisen from the throat, O glorious onel
dhaivata, on the
other hand, is born of the palate-region (tālu-deśa). Niṣāda, on the other hand,
should be known to be born of all the joints (
sandhis).
(82)
Thus one should know the svaras born in the ocean of gita (melody, music),
arisen out of the mouth of
Mahadeva and placed in the 'path' of desi.68
(83)
