In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra

1) ḍa (औड�) refers to pentatonic treatment in Indian music, and is one of the ten characteristics (gati) of the پ (melodic class), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 28. It is also known as ḍaپ or ḍa. Jāti refers to a recognized melody-type and can be seen as a precursor to which replaced them.—According to the Nāṭyaśāstra 28.95, “the pentatonic treatment (ḍa / ḍaٲ) relates to five notes in a and is to be known as being of ten kinds. Its subdivisions are thirty and have been mentioned before�.

Note:  The term ḍaٲ and ḍa have often been read respectively as ḵٲ and with a notion about their connection with (= star). ḍa or ḍa which lies at the basis of these terms, appears to be a non-Aryan word meaning probably ‘five�, and ṣāḍ too may likewise be of the same origin, and may mean ‘six�, and its another form might have been ṣoḍa connected with ṣoḍa in ṣoḍaś. This hypothesis may better explain in case of ṣa�, the appearance of a cerebral sound in place of I-E k.

2) ḍa (औड�) refers to one of the four classes of ūԲ (melody).—Tānas consisting of six and five notes are respectively called hexatone (ṣāḍ) and pentatone (ḍa). It is also known as ḍaٲ, ḍaīṛt, ḍaīṛt.

ḍa (औड�) refers to one of the thirteen Jātis or “proper combination of two 峾s (in Indian music), according to the Kallinātha’s commentary Kalānidhi on the ṃgīٲٲ첹.—In the Nāṭyaśāstra, پs are broadly divided into two types viz., śܻ and ṛt. The ṃgīٲٲ첹 also agrees on it. But in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the reference about the types of پs is not found. The ṃgīٲٲ첹 accepts thirteen kinds of characteristic features of پs. For example: ḍa, which is also accepted by the Nāṭyaśāstra.

: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (gita)

ḍa (औड�) or ḍarāga is mentioned in the ṅgīٲⲹṇa, Vol. I, p.33.—Accordingly, The phala of singing ḍa-岵 according to Kohala is brought out by Puruṣottama Miśrā in ṅgīٲⲹṇa. He says that the singing of ḍa-岵 can bring about eradication of diseases, destruction one’s enemies, destruction of fear and sorrow and appeasement of the planets. This verse is also found verbatim in Saṅgītārṇavacandrikā as well as Saṅgītasaraṇi. The former does not mention the name of Kohala whereas the latter does.
