Question

Sharang Dev has set up 'Antar Gandhar' on which of the following shruti?

A.

First Shruti of Madhyam

B.

Second Shruti of Madhyam

C.

Third Shruti of Madhyam

D.

Fourth Shruti of Madhyam

Correct option is B


Correct Option: b)
In the ancient 22-shruti microtonal system, each of the seven basic swaras (notes) is assigned a specific pitch position measured in shrutis. The placement of 'Antara Gandhar' (the modern shuddha Gandhar) by the theorist Sharngadeva is a precise technical detail.
Information Booster:
· In his magnum opus, Sangita Ratnakara, Sharngadeva explicitly states that Antara Gandhar is established on the second shruti of Madhyam.
· The four shrutis of Madhyam are sequentially assigned to different notes, with the second one being the locus for Antara Gandhar.
Additional Knowledge:
· The first shruti of Madhyam is assigned to Kakali Nishad (the higher, tivra Nishad).
· The third shruti of Madhyam is for Chyuta Pancham (a microtonally lowered Pancham).
· The fourth shruti of Madhyam is for Tivra Madhyam.
