Saṅgītamakaranda (सङ्गीतमकरन्द) is a Sanskrit work by Nārada (date uncertain, possibly flourished between 100 and 300 A.D.) dealing with Indian musicology (gāndharvaśāstra or saṅgītaśāstra).

Sangita Makaranda ascribed to Narada (7th -9^th century) is an interesting work. It has two parts, one on music; and , the other on dance, each divided into four sections. Its style is said to be rather complicated; and, makes a difficult reading. The first part of the text is devoted to music (Sangita) . It has subsections dealing with the origin of Nada and Svaras; associations of the Svaras with factors such as Gramas , Murchanas etc ; various musical terms such as , Vadi, Sruti, Alamkara etc; classification of Ragas ; and , with the musical instruments.

Saṅgītamakaranda (सङ्गीतमकरन्द) by Nārada (16th Cent C.E.) is the name of an ancient lakṣaṇagrantha (i.e., texts on saṃgīta-śastra or Musicology) in which one finds the concept of tāla-daśaprāṇas being dealt with as a composite unit. From this, we can infer that Tālalakṣaṇam was probably one of the earlier works which spoke about the Tāladaśaprāṇas.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
