Abstract

Nowadays I am working on musical notes. In last three months I tried too hard to trace the background and origin of musical notes in Indian philosophy and Sanskrit Grammar. A lot many books I had consulted to get the idea of Dhvani, Śabda and Nāda. In the Delhi showroom of MLBD, while roaming around shelves in search of some more books related to these concepts, incidentally I picked up this book (by Justice Raikote) and with natural anxiety opened it to have a look at the content list. Surprisingly, much of the material which I had collected with great efforts till that moment was available in this one book! Though I could not find anything new (in respect of my direction of research) in addition to whatever I had collected till that date but still I bought this book to make other researchers aware about this informative collection to save their precious time. Hence I am sharing my views with the larger academic world regarding this book.
