{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=Dance is a highly-developed art. In the Oriental variety of music, you know, three items come within the fold of saḿgiita, or music: dance, song, and instrumental music. The collective name in Sanskrit is saḿgiita. Lord Sadáshiva brought everything within the framework of science, and just now I called it “artistic science”.
{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=You know that even before Sadáshiva there was dance, there was music; people used to sing, also; but everything was in a disorderly manner. The dexterous hands of Sadáshiva made it a science – rather, an artistic science.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by stating that music, dance and song already existed before Shiva (7000 years ago), but It was Lord Shiva who combined them into an orderly science. He explains that Oriental dance contains various mudrás (postures) and táńd́ava is it's pristine expression. <ref name="AV12"/>
