    Question

    Which 'Swara - Samvad' cannot be obtained from the 'Shadja gram' of Bharat?

    A.

    Sa - Pa

    B.

    Sa - Ma

    C.

    Re - Pa

    D.

    Ga – Ni

    Correct option is C


    Correct Option: c)
    In the ancient Shadja Grama described by Bharata, Swara-Samvad refers to the acoustic consonance or intervalic relationship between two notes.
    Information Booster:
    · The correct answer is Re - Pa.
    · According to Bharata's Shadja Grama, the Pancham “Pa” is located 13 srutis from Shadja “Sa”.
    · The Rishabha “Re” is located 4 srutis from Sa.
    · Therefore, the interval between Re and Pa is 13 - 4 = 9 srutis.
    · In the ancient system described, the perfectly consonant interval (Samvadi) was considered to be one of 9 or 13 srutis.
    · However, the specific Re-Pa relationship of 9 srutis was not one of the primary consonances (like Sa-Pa or Sa-Ma) explicitly derived as a fundamental Samvad from the basic structure of the Shadja Grama in the way the other listed pairs were.
    · It is an interval that exists but is not highlighted as a primary "obtainable" Samvad in the same foundational sense.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Sa - Pa: This is the perfect consonant interval of 13 srutis, the primary Samvad and foundation of the Grama.
    · Sa - Ma: This is another primary consonant interval ( 9 srutis in one Grama, 13 in the other), fundamental to the system.
    · Ga – Ni: Depending on the specific Ga and Ni (e.g., Antara Ga and Kakali Ni), this could represent a consonant interval derivable from the grama structure.
