Upavādana is the place where the strings are tied up at the lower end of the viņā.

"upavādana 27 (the place where the strings are tied up at the lower end of the viņā)"

15 TRANSLATION "Some who are adept in the knowledge of śrutis, speak of twenty-two śrutis; some (speak of them) as being differentiated into sixty-six. Others propound their infinity itself." (Anu. 7) But then, what is the measure of śruti? It is being explained. Pañcama is known as being seated in the two grāmas.19 The difference of that (pañcama) through utkarşa 20 (augmentation) and apakarşa 21 (diminution) through mārdava 22 (lit. softness) and āyatatva 23 (lit. the state of being stretched or extended) is the measure of śruti (lit. śruti is of that measure). (Anu. 8) Now the nidarsana 24 (demonstration) of the twenty-two-fold nature of srutis is thus (being given). Having made two viņās equal in measure,25 string,26 upavādana 27 (the place where the strings are tied up at the lower end of the viņā), daņļa28 (rod or board) and mūrchanā29 (tuning), they (two viņās) should be established in şadjagrāma.50 On one of these, having made the śruti madhyamagrāmiki31 (belonging to madhyama-grāma) on account of the apakarşa (lowering) of pañcama, (one) should make the same śruti şadjagrāmikī 32 (belonging to sadjagrāma) on account of pañcama.35 Thus (the vinā) becomes lowered by (one) śruti, but there is no special gain,34 because of there being only the perception of high and low. Again one should lower in the same manner35 so that gāndhāra and niṣāda that are the subjects (kartṛ in dual no.) on one viņā will 'enter' the rabha-dhaivata 36 that have attained objectification (karmatā) on the unchanged (sthirā) viņā on account of their (of gāndhāra- niṣāda) being 'more's7 (higher) by two śrutis (each, in relation to ṛṣabha- dhaivata). Again also, the dhaivata-ṛṣabha on the cala (mobile) viṇā that is lowered in the same manner, will enter the pañcama-şadja on the other (viņā), on account of their being 'more's8 (higher) (than the latter) by three śrutis (each). Again also, on the (cala) viņā that is lowered in the same way, pañcama, madhyama and şadja enter madhyama, gandhara and nişada respectively on the other on account of their being 'more'39 (higher) (than the latter) by four śrulis.
