	RASIKA - Articles - 22 Sruthis
		The term Sruti is appropriately given, for it is of a perceptible, audible interval sound that the ancients are speaking.
		Sruti is not a precise, acoustically standardised measure, but a perceptual measure like a spoonful of sugar which is of use in the field of art.
		Sruti does not make svara-s perceivable, but is postulated as a unit to measure their intervallic differences.

	Sruti box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sruti box is a small wooden instrument that traditionally works on a system of bellows.
		Before the arrival of the harmonium in India, musicians used either a tambura or a specific pitch reference instruments, such as the othu nadaswaram, to produce the drone.
		In a concert, the sruti box's sound is fed via a microphone to the audio mixer.

	Brahma Sutras by Swami Sivananda
		The view that the soul's doership is due to its desires and its possession of the senses as instruments and not to the Lord is wrong, because the Sruti declares that Lord is the cause.
		Sruti declares, "He makes him, whom He wishes to lead up from these worlds do good deeds; He makes him, whom He wishes to lead down from these worlds, do bad deeds." (Kau.
		We reply that the Sruti says that the soul is the doer and declares as cause of doership the Supreme Lord who is the bestower of the fruits of actions, who is immanent in all, who is the witness of all actions, and who is the inspirer and guider of all.

	News Letter - 2001 Vol. I - Sruti: A Discourse on Nature of Orality and Its Transmission - by Dr. Molly Kaushal
		The international workshop on Sruti -Transmission of Oral Tradition, was an attempt to bring to focus various debates relating to Orality and to raise relevant methodological and epistemological issues.
		Whereas this workshop was rich in terms of empirical data, Sruti was an attempt at an in-depth discussion and debate.
		Selection of the verses, and the dialogue that took place between the preachers/priests and the scholars helped reveal the deeper essence and meaning of the ‘uttered’ and the spoken ‘word’ in different traditions and the inherent transforming power of this ‘word’, which is often equated with the divine himself.

	Tonalsoft Encyclopaedia of Tuning - The Indian sruti system as a periodicity-block (c)1999 by Paul Erlich and Joe Monzo
		The Hindu system of 22 srutis, in its common JI form is essentially a Fokker periodicity block, but not one of the good ones I'm looking for.
		The first one is the diaschisma, ratio 2048/2025 or 3^-4 * 5^-2, as we've discussed before, there's evidence that the same pitch (sruti #2) functioned as 135/128 and as 16/15 (or in ma-grama, as 45/32 and as 64/45).
		Thus, I feel that your PB interpretation of the Indian sruti system is quite poor, because the sruti system prides itself on being able to represent all the 3:2s (at least the commonly used ones) by the same number of srutis.

	The Hindu : Focussing on voice culture
		When, for instance, a tanpura tuned for a high pitch sruti suitable for a female voice is reduced and re-tuned to a lower sruti the strings become less tight and the tension of the strings drops, leading to vibrations from them.
		The tension of the strings is maintained at a tight level by choosing thinner strings for higher sruti and thicker ones for lower sruti.
		Anyone having a ear for music is easily carried away by the melody emerging from the voice that totally becomes one with the sruti and hence the tendency in most of the average listeners in the South to be overwhelmed by Hindustani Music in preference to Carnatic.

		In fact, this approximate sruti is actually a new sruti, which is higher than suddha rishabha by a pramana sruti (also known as a Pythagorian comma).

		Secondly, a sruti with relative frequency of 678 cents (which is close to panchama, being lower by a pramana sruti) is omitted from the list of 22 srutis for some mysterious reasons (see page 40 of his book).

		Sruti stands for the eternal values of human freedom, dignity, equality, and fearlessness, irrespective of caste, creed, colour or sex.
		This is the meaning of Sruti in the Hindu or the Sanatan Dharma tradition of India; the sages of the Upanishads, or of the Srutis, were only discoverers of eternal spiritual truths, which can be rediscovered by any one else also at any time.
		The Sruti is represented by the Vedas generally, and by the Upanishads particularly.

	Re: Gita: Smriti or Sruti?
		What gets classified as Sruti may be a matter of dry scholarship, but every religion needs its dry scholiasts if it is to survive as any recognizable entity.
		The criterion that a smr.ti has to be in accordance with Sruti in order to be valid, helps to reject a number of texts of doubtful provenance.
		The requirement that a smr.ti has to be in accordance with Sruti in order to be valid, ensures that all valid smr.tis are mostly Sruti "in character".

		We use terms "Sruti pramana" and "Smrti pramana"(the authority of the Vedas and the authority of the Smrtis), but making such a distinction does not mean that we should treat Sruti and Smrti different or that we should think that the one is inferior to the other.

		Sruti texts are those that are supposedly of divine origin, revealed directly to people from God.
		Smriti texts, on the other hand, are secondary scriptures, serving as commentary and elaboration on Sruti texts.

		In this note, we discuss the notion of sruti, swara, laya, tala and nadai in the context of sarali swaras to understand some of the latent ideas in the sarali swaras.
		I will use the word "sruti" to refer to a note or a tone or a frequency (eg: expressed in swara form as "sa", "ri", "ga", "ma", "pa", "dha", "ni") and its relation to a base frequency (eg: "sa" as expressed by the background tambura or sruti box).
		I must say that I have found this step (the student able to recognize and correct the note sung to match saa) to be the biggest stumbling block among beginners.

	Bharata's Vina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Consequently, even though Bharata was under the impression that the pramana sruti represents a constant interval, the fact remains that a scientific or artistic experience of 22-tone equal temperament is impossible without advanced mathematics.
		Refer to Figure 21(a), Row 1, and notice that Sa, Ma, Pa, and Sa' are vertically aligned with ratios 1/1, 4/3, 3/2, and 2/1, respectively, in Row 4; and that all 4-sruti intervals in Row 2 are vertically aligned with interval ratios 9/8 in Row 3.
		Since 4 srutis represents ratio 9/8, and 3 srutis, ratio 10/9, calculate the difference between these two intervals by dividing the larger ratio by the smaller ratio: 9/8 ÷ 10/9 = 81/80 = 21.5 ¢.
