Dear brother-member, sbala, Just before the treatise, Sangita Ratnakara (13th century)
Parshvadeva brought out his ‘Sangita Samayasara’ in which he, for the first time in the annals of our music literature, had furnished 52 Talas along with serial numbers. But, unfortunately, after a lapse of 700 years in the 20th century, the incorrectness of 25 numbers of them has come into light. To avoid such embarrassment of furnishing incorrect serial numbers, Sharngadeva, the author of Sangita Ratnakara, has conveniently skipped off furnishing the serial numbers to the Talas in the Talaprastara portion of his Taladhyaya but furnished a new list of 120 Talas (neither of 101 Talas nor of 108 Talas of that time) intelligently including two Talas in his own name (Sharngadeva-tala) and title (Nisshanka-tala). The incorrect definitions of his Talaprastara obviously reveal that he, in the absence of the correct knowledge of Talaprastara, copied it from some other available source and other authors also followed suit. Thus, this rarest topic, Talaprastara was driven into oblivion and later generations lost the knowledge of this topic. However, the list of 158 talas furnished along with serial numbers in Gayakalochanam by Tacchur Singarachrya Bros. in 1902, reveals that this topic is not extinct fully (but, unfortunately, again 43 serial numbers of them are found incorrect). Without having proper understanding of this topic, some of the comtemporary authors also furnished incorrect and contradictory versions of it in their works and some other musicologists have gone to the extent of declaring this topic useless and irrelevant to the present day music. While this topic is receiving international acclaim in all other countries in the name of ‘Combinatorics’ our musicians are unable to know its value and utilization of it. Unlike any other system of music of the world, our ancestors utilized this topic long long ago.
Chi. sbala dear, in which way Sharngadeva wantonly skipped off furnishing the serial umbers of his Talas, now, you also have skipped off the 3 kinds of serial numbers of the 35 Talas furnished by me in the page No.114 of my book, Indian Genius in Talaprastara but furnished only the names of them in spite of your recently acquired knowledge of this topic. Better late than never. Even now, furnish another list of 35 Talas along with their serial numbers to enlighten our aspirants in this topic. amsharma.
