Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Tiripa (तिरिप, “flurry”) 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, “when a vibration (kampa) moves in the speed of one fourth of a druta and when the notes of the basic mode (jāti) sound like a stream of water, it is considered to be a tiripa”.

Tiripa (तिरिप).—(Nokku in Tamil) “(The tiripa-gamaka refers to) playing one of the notes of a phrase with some stress” (n s r s - with the accent on the ri for example). This, particular kind of highlighting one note in a phrase seems, in general, to be more a characteristic of Carnatic music; instances of its use in the Hindustani system seem rare, relatively speaking.

Tiripa (तिरिप).—The flurry (tiripa or tiripu), now called hillola, refers to one of the gamakas (graces):—“A lovely quivering like a very slight stroke on the drum, lasting only a quarter of a quaver (druta—i.e. ⅛ of a mātrā) is known as tirip”. ( Saṅgītaratnākara 2.3.89-90). “When the intervals quickly move round like a whirl, this the connoisseurs of music know as tiripu”. (Saṅgītasamayasāra 1.52)
