In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraSaṃvādī (संवादी, “consonant”) is an alternative spelling for saṃvādīn, which refers to one of the four classes of musical notes (svara), according to the Nāṭyaśāstrahapter chapter 28. Accordingly, “those two notes which are at an interval, of nine or thirteen śrutis from each other are mutually consonant (saṃvādin)”.
Source: archive.org: Northern Indian Music Volume ISaṃvādī (संवादी, “consonant”).—“The consonant is like a minister”. (Saṅgītamakaranda) Corresponding notes in the two tetrachords into which the octave is divided always have similar expressions. A fourthor a fifth above the vādī (sonant) another note will therefore be foundthat responds to it, playing in the upper tetrachord a similar, though less important role. This note is called “saṃvādī” (consonant). Very rare exceptions apart, the saṃvādī is always a fifth or a fourth above the vādī. This corresponds with an intervalof twelve or eight śrutis.
Bṛhaddeśī, commentary on 1.63: “The nature of the ‘consonant’ (saṃvādī) is to reinforce the ‘sonant’ (vādī) by which the expressiveness of the mode is engendered”.
Rāgavibodha 1.37: “The notes that have between them an interval of twelve or eight śrutis (perfect fifth and fourth) are called ‘consonant’ (saṃvādī). They are like ministers”. The commentary adds: “Saṃvādīs... sustain the... impression created by the vādī, just as ministers carry out the order of the king.”
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).
