SAHDAYĀLOKA nộtyam śalyeti kirtitam. - iti tīkántare krta-laksaņā. śamyeti pāțhe - "samyeti savyayoḥ pātaḥ satālaḥ-kara-pādayoḥ ubhayoḥ karayoḥ pātaḥ
sannipāta iti smộtah.” tare. 'Samya' iti pāthe gita-vädya-samaya-nrtyam anyai rāsakanāmnā pathitam. ādiśabdena tandava-hallīsaka-rāsānām grahanam. uktam ca - ,
"tallāsyam tāṇdavam ceti cchalitam sampayā saha, . hallīsakam ca rāsam ca
șat prakāram pracakṣate.” (S.K.Ā. II. 143) Sampā (pp. 308, SK. ibid) is illustrated as - vīhesi harimuhi... etc. The Sanskrit rendering is -
"vibheși harimukhi api bhava mām ca gale gļhāņa sadā, krandati ristāsura-maritaḥ kantha-valito na patiḥ.”
tad idam chalikam eva kinnara-visayam sampā. The Abh. (p. 227, Vol. I. ibid) on N.S. V. 62, (quoted above) has - śamyā tvityādi. - dvikala-cañcat-putasya śamya"deh svarūpam anena darśitam. sā'pi saśabdapāta-gata-hasta-nirvartyā eva. The A.bh. (pp. 228, Vol. I, ibid, G.O.S.) goes on to quote -
"samyā dakşiņa-pātas tu tālo vāmena kīrtitah, ubhayoḥ sannipātaḥ saḥ
sannipāta iti smộtaḥ." (N.S. XXXI. 38) One thing emerges clearly that śamyā or sampā is a performance with musical instruments and it formed part of the pūrva-ranga as noted by one commentator.
In the S.K.Ā. it is explained by Bhoja as : 'tad idam chalikam eva kinnaravisayam sampā.'
