bhāvinī technical_term

¹³⁷ TRANSLATION Sauvīrī should be known as the first one, vega-madhyamā the second, sādhāritā is the third one and gāndhārī the fourth. Thus should be known the four bhāṣās born of sauvīraka. (30c-31) Suddhabhinnā, vārāṭī, similarly dhaivatabhūṣitā and then viśālā are said to be born of bhinnapañcama. (32) The bhāṣā called māṅgalī is born of boṭṭa-rāga. In mālavapañcama is born bhāvinī, the one that is beautiful for the people. (33) Mālavā (and) bhinnavālikā should be known to be born of ṭakkakaiśika, and drāvidī is the third bhāṣā there that is described with characteristics (lakṣaṇas). (34) The two known as bāhyaṣāḍavā and nādākhyā are born in vesaraṣāḍava. Tānodbhavā should be known as being assigned to bhinnatāna. (35) In gāndhārapañcama, gāndhārikā is the one bhāṣā that is accepted. Gāndhārī is with profuse gāndhāra and is delightful to the people in pañcama (gāndhārapañcama). In revagupta¹³ (?) śakākhyā is the one spoken of in pañcamaṣāḍava. (36) Thus are obvious the bhāṣās that are born in manifold ways. Now listen to their description alongwith illustration for each one. (37) [The description of bhāṣās] [1. Bhāṣās in ṭakka-rāga] It has madhyama as its aṁśa, şadja as its concluding note, is devoid of pañcama and there is to be seen here again and again the mutual movement¹⁴ of dhaivata-niṣāda and similarly ṣaḍja - dhaivata. This should be known as hexatonic. Travaņā should bear the name mūlā. (38-39)

TRANSLATION ¹⁶¹ Illustration-Sāpāpādhāmāmā pāgāmagāpadhādhāpāgamā gāpāpāpādhāpāsā sāpādhāpamagāmāmā gāmasāsāsāgāgāmāgāmāmā. Şadjamadhyamā [iv] Having madhyama as aṁśa, ṣaḍja as the concluding note, being weak in pañcama, with profusion of dhaivata - niṣāda and similarly of ṣaḍja-dhaivata, this bhāṣā, madhurī, should be known to be hexatonic in prenkhaka34 (a synonym of hindolaka). (88) Illustration - Māpāpādhādhādhāmādhaninipāsanidhasāsā māpādhanisa nisāsā māpānisāsārirīgamagārīsāsā nidhāpāpāpādhanidhāsāsā rirīgamāgari sāsā. Madhurī [v] Thus end the bhāṣās of hindolaka. [5. Now the bhāṣās in pañcama] Having pancama as amsa and the same as the concluding note, replete with niṣāda, being complete, this ābhīrī bhāṣā is born of deśa³⁵ (region), rises out of pañcama (rāga) and should be known to be the first one arising out of pañcama. Mutual concert between șadja-dhaivata is to be seen here. (89-90) Illustration - Pādhāmādhanidhāpāpāpā padhanidhāmāmādhānisāsā sanidhanisadhānisānidhāsā dharimāmādhāninidhāpāpā pamamadhanisāsā saninisāsāsanigarimamamāgarisasa sadhanipādhāmāmāsarimādhārimapāpā. Abhīrī [i] Bhāvinī has pañcama as nyāsa, gāndhāra as aṁśa (and) is weak in dhaivata. Where the mutual movement of madhyama-pañcama is seen to be dense, the bhāṣā bhāvinī should be known to be complete by the knowledgeable ones in gändharva.36 (91) Illustration-Gāmāpāgamapānidhā [pā]. Gamapāmāgāgārī rīgāmīdhāpāpāpāpā Māmāgāmāpāpā māpāpāmādhārisagagamāpā māgāriripāpā. Bhāvini [ii]

Reconstruction based on Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 137 ŀ reading 'sadhasañcārini' and 'dhabhūṣitā' and S Rāj II.2.I.902 reading 'ṣaḍja- dhaivatasangatā'. 119. S Rāj II.2.1.956 ab describes a samvāda (to and fro movement) between niṣada-dhaivata, but Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 138 reads 'ridha- sañcārā'; it appears that 'ni' has been replaced here with 'ri' on account of error in deciphering or copying at some stage. वाहुल्यं दृश्यते त्वस्याः सर्वस्वरगतं वृधैः । 120. cf. S Rāj II.2.1.956 cd. 121. P. t. does not contain the description of bhāvinī, the bhāṣā of mālavapanīcama, although it is included in the initial enumeration (uddeša) in verse 33 cd of this chapter. Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 142 describes two vibhāṣās named bhāvanī and vibhāvanī under mālavapañcama as- भावनी पञ्चमांशान्तग्रहा मालवपञ्चमात् । ज?ाता विभाषा षड्ज?ापन्यासा ऋषभवर्ज?िता ॥ विभावनी विभाषा स्यात् पूर्णा मालवपञ्चमे । पञ्चमांशग्रहन्यासा मगधाल्पा पमन्द्रभाक् ॥ S Rāj II.2.1.1084 describes vibhāvanī according to Yāṣṭika, but bhāvanī is not ł mentioned there.
