Miscellaneous Notes

This text treats the topic of navasandhi. When the mahotsava is to be celebrated in śiva temples, the kettledrum (bherī) is to be sounded drawing the attention of the gods to the commencement of the festival. The guardian deities of the eight directions and brahmā in the centre requested to be present. All these together become 9 in number. Each deity has a śloka or 2 to be sung in their honour to specific musical melodies called paṇ in Tamil accompanied by dance poses and playing upon musical instuments
