MURCHANAs Part-2

MURCHANAs
(Part-2)

now ….. ,
WHAT IS NEW ?
2
IN THESE CONVENTIONAL
MURCHANAs,
I EXPERIMENTED
BY SUBSTITUTING
‘MATHEMATICALLY ACCURATE’
VALUES IN STEAD OF
THE TRADITIONAL “ROUNDED-OFF”
SRUTI VALUES
3
WHY AM I
‘AVERSE’ to the
“ROUNDED OFF”
SRUTI VALUES ??
4
In this context,
Let us recollect
The wisdom passed on
By “Pythagoras”
the Ancient Greek
Philosopher, mathematician
And musician
5
AS PER PYTHOGORAS ….
‘MUSIC’ MEANS
ONLY “ SIMPLE FRACTIONs ”
“ COMPLEX FRACTIONs ”
CAUSE ONLY “ DISCORD ”
6
AS PER PYTHOGORAS ….
‘NUMBER’ AND ‘RATIO’ SHOULD BE

EXPRESSED “ MOST ELEMENTALLY ” IN
MUSIC
‘NUMEROSITY’ SHOULD BE GOVERNED BY

STRICT “ ARITHMETICAL ECONOMY ”
7
During my Study, I have found
that ‘ROUNDED OFF’ SRUTIs
WOULD RESULT IN
VERY COMPLEX” FRACTIONs
And, therefore, generate
“DISCORD”
8
If the ‘srutis’ are converted
into equivalent ‘Fractions’,
they would look
something like this …. ,
9
For Example:
‘3’ - srutis = 1088139917 / 990000000

Whereas the nearest ‘mathematical’
value will be :
‘2.76’ - srutis’ (22-FRACTIONs FAMILY) = 12 / 11)
10
Another Example:
‘13’-srutis = 1491133598 / 990000000

Whereas the nearest ‘mathematical’
value will be :
‘12.87’-srutis’ (22-FRACTIONs FAMILY) = 3/2
11
With this background information,
let us focus on the

‘Formulation of Murchanas’

TAKING STOCK OF THE SITUATION ….
The ‘Designer’ had seeded

20 “simple fractions” 0f the
“ SACRED NUMBERS ”
so far, as given below:

Sadja-grama-- 6 Fractions
Madhyama-grama-- 5 Fractions
Murchanas of Sadja-grama -- 9 Fractions
TOTAL--- 20 FRACTIONS

WHERE ARE THE ‘TWO’

MISSING FRACTIONs ?

SRUTI INTERVALS 33
My Study of
‘GRAMAs’ AND ‘MURCHANAs’
led me to the
FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONs :
34
FIRSTLY ..
The ‘Designers’ of our

Ancient Music had
“ INTENDED ”
That the “22 Fractions”
derived from the
12 ‘Sacred Numbers’
be the “TRUE SWARAs”
35
SECONDLY ..
The ‘Rounded-off’
Swara-sthaanas given
In Ancient Musicological literature
Should be used as “KEYS”,
For unraveling these
“22 Fractions”
36
THIRDLY ..
The ‘Rounded-off’
Swara-sthaanas given
In Ancient Musicological literature
Should NOT be used “DIRECTLY”
For the vertical development of music
