V (the Section on Grāma-mūrchanā)
[The treatment of grama]
(Anu. 30) Then, what is spoken of by the word grāma? How many grāmas are there? From where is grāma born? And what is its objective?
(84)
It is being answered. The two grāmas stand for a group! composed of svara, śruti and the like.4
(85)
Just as all members of families live together, (similarly) grāma? is known as (86) that by all the people where there is an abiding settlement.5 Two grāmas named şadja and madhyama are definitely well-known.6 Nārada speaks of gandhara (grama)3, but that is not 'sung' (used) by the mortals.7
(87)
Şvaras are born of Sāmaveda, grāma is born of svaras8, and these (grāmas) are known to be two5 characterised by (the names) şadja and madhyama.
(88)
(Anu. 31) The objective is thus - the systematisation6 of svara, śruti, mūrchanā, tāna, jāti (and) rāga1110 is indeed the objective. (Anu. 32) But why are the gramas named after the svaras sadja and madhyama? It is being answered. Because of (their) uncommonness the grāmas are named after them. And the uncommonness is on account of their being born of devakula?9 (the community of gods). The same has been said by Nārada - "Ṣadja, gāndhāra" and madhyama are born of devakula. Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara should be known as their presiding deities."2 Out of the two grāmas which one is known to be prominent? From the statement by the muni (Bharata?), the prominence of şadja-(grāma)9 is known.12
