वीणा वादन तत्वज्ञः, श्रुति जाति विशारदः।
तालज्ञश्चाप्रयासेन, मोक्ष मार्गं नियच्छति।।
“Veena vadhana tathvangna sruti, jathi, visartha talanjaaprayasena moksha margam niyachathi”
– Yajnavalkya in his ‘smriti’ (literature about music)
( the who is well versed in veena, one who has the knowledge of srutis (subtle quartertones and microtones) and one who is adept in tala – all of them attain moksham or salvation without effort.)
