Spencer's idea that, through a development of these emotional modulations of voice, man found music, appealed to me. Why should it not do, I thought to myself, to act a drama in a kind of recitative based on this idea. The Kathakas of our country attempt this to some extent, for they frequently break into a chant which, however, stops short of full melodic form.
Whoever goes back to his early childhood will agree that his greatest gains were not in proportion to the completeness of his understanding. Our Kathakas I know this truth well. So their narratives always have a good proportion of ear-filling Sanskrit words and abstruse remarks not calculated to be fully understood by their simple hearers, but only to be suggestive.
The text of the Atharvanikas exhibits at the beginning of their Upanishad some mantras, 'Pierce the sukra, pierce the heart. The followers of the Sama-veda read at the beginning of their rahasya- brahmana 'O God Savitri, promote the sacrifice. The Kathakas and the Taittiriyakas have 'May Mitra be propitious to us, may Varuna be propitious. The Satyayanins have 'Thou art a white horse, a tawny and a black one! The Kaushitakins have a Brahmana referring to the Mahavrata- ceremony, 'Indra having slain Vritra became great. The Kaushitakins also have a Mahavrata-brahmana.
