Question

Choose the correct 'Angas' of Prabandha:

A.

Swar, Pad, Tala

B.

Swar, Tenak, Udgrah

C.

Paat, Virud, Melapak

D.

Dhruv, Udgrah, Melapak

Correct option is A


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.
