    Question

    In Vedic period, which term was used for Swara?

    A.

    Vastu

    B.

    Yam

    C.

    Kutup

    D.

    Vesra

    Correct option is B


    Correct Option: b)
    The terminology used in texts like the Samaveda is crucial for understanding the evolution of musical thought.
    Information Booster:
    · In the Vedic period, the term "Yam" was used to denote the concept of a musical note or Swar (b).
    · This is a well-documented fact from ancient Sanskrit texts on musicology, where the seven basic notes (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni) were referred to by the names Yam, Rajan, etc.
    · This is a direct repeat. In the Vedic period, the term "Yam" (b) was used for the musical note or Swara.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · The other terms are associated with different concepts: Vastu (subject matter), Kutup, and Vesra (not a standard musical term from this context).
