The Prabandh has five Varieties or Jatis namely: Medini, Anandini, Dipani, Bhavani, and Taravali. The Jati having all six Angas is known as Medani, the jati having five Angas is known as Anandini, the Jati having four Angas is known as Dipani, the Jati having three Angas is known as Bhavani, the Jati having two Angas is known as Taravali.
Prabandh Jatis and Angas Explained
Sarangadeva, in his seminal work Sangit-Ratnakar, details various aspects of Indian classical music, including the structure of Prabandh. Prabandh compositions are categorized into two primary forms: Nibaddha gana (structured music) and Anibaddha gana (unstructured music). The fundamental parts that constitute a Prabandh are called Dhatus. Sarangadeva identifies four main Dhatus: Udgraha, Melapak, Dhurva, and Abhog. An additional Dhatu, Antra, could also be present but was considered optional.
Furthermore, a Prabandh is characterized by six structural components known as Angas. These Angas are essential for defining the specific form and characteristics of a Prabandh. The six Angas are:
- Swara
- Viruda
- Pada
- Tenak
- Paat
- Tala
The text specifies that Prabandh compositions are further classified into five distinct Jatis (varieties), based on the number of these Angas they incorporate. The relationship between the Jati and the number of Angas is explicitly defined:
| Prabandh Jati | Number of Angas |
|---|---|
| Medini | Six (6) |
| Anandini | Five (5) |
| Dipani | Four (4) |
| Bhavani | Three (3) |
| Taravali | Two (2) |
Identifying the Prabandh Jati with Three Angas
According to the classification outlined in Sangit-Ratnakar, the specific Jati of Prabandh that contains exactly three of the six defined Angas is named Bhavani. This demonstrates how the presence or absence of these structural components determines the classification of Prabandh forms.
