In Hinduism
Gitashastra (science of music)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (gita)1) Ҳḍa岵 (गौडराग) is the name of a Rāga (melodic modes in Indian classical music) which is to be sung after after Madhyāhna (specific period of the day), according to the Kohalamatam, one of the works ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—The section on 岵 begins with an excerpt from Mataṅga’s Bṛhaddesi regarding the definition of 岵. [...] The work then gives a list of ūṃśa and candramāṃśa-岵s and also another list of 岵s to be sung at certain praharas. For example, Gauḍaraga is to be sung after Madhyāhna. This entire portion is found almost in exact form in Saṅgītamakaranda of Nārada. The fruit of singing 岵s in the appropriate time and the demerits accrued by ignoring these are mentioned.
2) Ҳḍa岵 (गौडराग) has two varieties according to the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa, Vol. I, p.88:
- drāviḍagauḍa-岵 and
- turuṣkagauḍa-岵.
[Cf. gauḍasya dvaividhya� kohalīye—turuṣkagauḍo drāviḍagauḍa iti | turuṣkagauḍastu auḍave vakṣyate | mūrtistu nibandhāntare]
