Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: SaṅgītaśiromaṇiĀndolita (आन्दोलित, “swung”) refers to one of the fifteen aspects of gamaka (embellishments, ornamentation) that are used in Indian classical music (gāndharva), according to the Saṅgītaśiromaṇi 14.83-94. These gamakas refer to essential elements of the sthāyas (technical phrases) of rāgas (melodic modes). Accordingly, “a vibrato (kampa) with the duration of a laghu is called āndolita”.
Source: archive.org: Northern Indian Music Volume IĀndolita (आन्दोलित, “swing”) refers to one of the gamakas (graces):—“Āndolita lasts one crotchet (one mātrā)”. (Saṅgītaratnākara 2.3.91) “Whatever the speed of singing—fast, medium or slow—a swing lasting one crotchet (mātrā) constitutes the grace called āndolita”. (Siṃhabhūpāla’s commentary on Saṅgītasamaytasāra 2.3.90) “When there is a rocking of the notes lasting one crotchet or mātrā, this grace (gamaka) is spoken of as a ‘swing’ by connoisseurs of music” (Saṅgītasamayasāra 1.54)
