The combined name of dance, song and instrumental music is saḿgiita (sam + gae + kta). What is sung meticulously, emitting sound in a pleasing sequence in unison with melody, rhythm and beat is giita (song). And if it gets associated with dance and instrumental music, it becomes saḿgiita. With these components remaining intact, if a song is sung with or without sonority, it is called sáma. In any case, this saḿgiita is nothing but gandharva vidyá (science of music). At the first stage it is to be learnt (shikś), then knowing (jiṋá) is required, which calls for the subjectivization of external objectivity. Later it must be made part and parcel of one’s nature. And when it becomes such, it is worthy to be termed gandharva vidyá.
