This system of accentuation is not scientific, nor does it prevail in many parts of India such as the northern countrics and Malabar. It differs considerably from the mode of accentuation adopted in the Sama Veda in reciting the original hymns or rks taken from the Rgveda. From the musical notation given above, it is seen that the sound of the Svarita is higher by one note than the Udatta, and this is wrong as the Udatta must be raised above the other svaras. The Anudatta being lower than the Udatta, the Svarita must be higher than the Anudatta and lower than the Udatta, and so must intervene between them. In any case we have simply to mark only the Udatta, and the positions of the remaining svaras can be settled.
