In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraSālaga (सालग) or sālagarāga is defined as “the rāga having the form of Śakti”, according to Umāpati in his 9th century Aumāpatam (exposition on music and dance). Merged with śuddha-rāgas, they become known as saṅkīrṇa. It is also known as sālaṅga or sālaṅka.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Gitashastra (science of music)
Source: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (gita)Sālagā (सालगा) is the name of a Rāga (melodic modes in Indian classical music) which is to be sung before the first prahara (specific period of the day), 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.—The section on rāga begins with an excerpt from Mataṅga’s Bṛhaddesi regarding the definition of rāga. [...] The work then gives a list of sūryāṃśa and candramāṃśa-rāgas and also another list of rāgas to be sung at certain praharas. For example, Sālagā-raga is to be sung before the first prahara. This entire portion is found almost in exact form in Saṅgītamakaranda of Nārada. The fruit of singing rāgas in the appropriate time and the demerits accrued by ignoring these are mentioned.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, gītaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
