सङ्गीतरत्नाकर: प्रथम भाग (शार्ङ्गदेव - स्वरगताध्याय सविस्तार व्याख्या व अनुवाद सहित)

( x )
The translation is accompanied by three appendices
for different specialists; and also a glossary-cum-index is
provided wherein the various technical terms are very briefly
elucidated. A half verse line index too is added to provide a
guide to the text.
It is hoped that this work will prove to be a useful aid
to those scholars and students who are not so well conversant
with Sanskrit as to approach the text directly.
