Hence you shall propitiate Him by performing a great penance. Śiva will take you as His wife [i.e., dvitīyā], after you have been sanctified by austerities. You will never forsake the auspicious Śiva. O goddess, you will not take any one other than Śiva as your husband”.

Gitashastra (science of music)

Dvitīya (द्वितीय) refers to one of the Vedic Svaras which is mapped to the Madhyama-svara (of the Laukika type), according to the Kohalamatam, one of the works ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—Kohalamatam has dealt with the aspect of svara in great detail. It also refers to the Vedic origin of svaras. The list of Laukikasvaras (=seven notes) has been mapped with corresponding Vaidikasvaras (=Vedic svaras)—For example, the Vedic Dvitīya-svara has been mapped to the Madhyama-svara (of the Laukika type). Note: The Nāradīyā-śikṣā presents a very different scheme. Here the Vedic Dvitīya-svara is mapped to the Gāndhāra-svara (of the Laukika type). Moreover, the Nāradīyā-śikṣā presents the notes in the order of the sāman scale viz.—ma, ga, ri, sa, dha, ni, pa—whereas in Kohalamatam we find a straight delineation of the svaras.

[kiṃ cintayati niścinto dvitīyaṃ yo na paśyati] He by whom inner distraction is seen may put an end to it, but the noble one is not distracted. When there is nothing to achieve, what is he to do?

(1) while recollecting the Buddha from the perspective of morality, he never gives up unsullied morality; (2) while recollecting the Buddha in the perspective concentration, he is changeless concerning the realm of the dharma being always same; (3) while recollecting the Buddha from the perspective of insight, he is free from thought-constructions since there is no activity in all dharmas; (4) while recollecting the Buddha from the perspective of liberation, he does not stay in the secondary-thought (dvitīya-citta); [...]”.
