RamachandraVajpeyi A Critical Edition and Translation Editor and Translator Shankar Gopal Nene Published Books Matralaksanam The publication of this volume has laid the foundation of the IGNCAs programme of publishing fundamental texts of the Indian traditions in original with translations The importance of this text is enhanced by the fact that it represents two very important śakhās recensions of the Sāmaveda Rāṇāyanīya and Kauthumaon chantingThe contents of the Mātrālakṣaṇam are of fundamental importance because this is perhaps the first text to discuss the concept of a timeunit measure mātrā The importance of mātrā as measure with mathematical syllabic time value of vowels in their aspects of elongation tempo pitch and interval cannot be understood without taking into account sound as measure In delineating the semantic relationship between syllable and letter vowels and consonants it lays the foundation of disciplines today recognized as phonetics linguistics and prosody Equally important is the discussion on sound and notes in doing so it is a proto forerunner of the modal system of lndian musicAs an exacting system of oral articulation and recitation this text was used for recitation with hand gestures like ārcika In relating the articulation of sound with body language gesture especially hands and fingers the system of orally rendering a text
