Correct Option: a)
In ancient Indian musicology, a Prabandha is a structured, fixed musical composition.
Information Booster:
· The three primary
Angas (essential components) of a classical Prabandha, as established in texts like
Bharata's Natyashastra and later musicological works, are
Swar (the musical note or melody), Pad (the text or lyric), and
Tala (the rhythmic cycle).
· These three elements must be present for a composition to be classified as a true Prabandha.
Additional Knowledge:
· Terms like Tenak, Udgrah, Dhruv, and Melapak refer to
Dhatus (sections) or sub-components within the Prabandha structure, not the core Angas.
· Paat and Virud are related to poetic meters or other textual elements, not the defining trio of Angas.
