Saṅgītakāmada (सङ्गीतकामद).—In the Saṅgīta Kāmada (Oriya script) the forms of various rāgas are described and eight puruṣarāgas, their strī (female) rāgas and 6 napuṃsakarāgas and rāgas falling into the three groups ṣāḍava, auḍava and sampūrṇa are given.

In the Saṅgīta Kāmada is given a very peculiar classification of rāgas. It is said that according to Nārada, Kaṇṭhagāna originates in the throat, Tālugāna in the palate and Oṣṭhagāna in the lips. Śrīrāga is called Kaṇṭhauṣṭa and Madhyamādi is Kaṇṭhatālu. Dantyagāna also is mentioned.
