In Bengali, the word ''Prabhát(a)'' (প্রভাত - pɾɔbhat̪) means ''dawn'', ''morning'' or ''daybreak''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} The word ''Sauṋgiit(a)'' (সঙ্গীত - [ʃɔŋɡit̪){{sfn|Sarkár, Prabhát Raiṋjan|21/10/2007}} also spelled as ''Saḿgiit(a)'' (সংগীত - ʃɔŋɡgit̪) means ''song'' and ''music''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} Thus, ''prabhát(a) sauṋgiit(a)'' or ''prabhát(a) saḿgiit(a)'' etymologically means "morning song"{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} or "songs of dawn".{{sfn|Avadhuta, Divyachetananda Acharya|19/06/2009}} It has also been interpreted as "songs of a new dawn".{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}{{sfn|Subramanya, Mysore|2008}} | In Bengali, the word ''Prabhát(a)'' (প্রভাত - pɾɔbhat̪) means ''dawn'', ''morning'' or ''daybreak''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} The word ''Sauṋgiit(a)'' (সঙ্গীত - [ʃɔŋɡit̪){{sfn|Sarkár, Prabhát Raiṋjan|21/10/2007}} also spelled as ''Saḿgiit(a)'' (সংগীত - ʃɔŋɡgit̪) means ''song'' and ''music''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} Thus, ''prabhát(a) sauṋgiit(a)'' or ''prabhát(a) saḿgiit(a)'' etymologically means "morning song"{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} or "songs of dawn".{{sfn|Avadhuta, Divyachetananda Acharya|19/06/2009}} It has also been interpreted as "songs of a new dawn".{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}{{sfn|Subramanya, Mysore|2008}} However, if ''Prabhat'' is interpreted as the name of the composer, then the etymology of that word is largely irrelevant. In that case, ''Prabhat Samgiita'' would simply mean "songs of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar". In light of other similar collections (for example, [[wikipedia:Meera|Meera Bhajans]], [[wikipedia:Rabindra Sangeet|Rabindra Sangeet]], and [[wikipedia:Nazrul Geeti|Nazrul Geeti]]), this latter interpretation might be the most appropriate. | ||
