Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It frames technical knowledge of sacred sound (tāna, rāga, svara, grāma, mūrcchanā) as spiritually purifying and merit-producing, not merely artistic or theoretical.
By emphasizing purity and punya gained through sacred instruction, it supports the Bhakti ethos that disciplined, sanctified sound and learning can become an offering and a purifier of the mind.
Śikṣā-related sound science and allied technical tradition: correct understanding of notes (svara), scale-systems (grāma), modal progressions (mūrcchanā), and melodic structures (rāga, tāna).
