Abstract: The Saṅgīta-ratnākara (Ocean of Music) of Śārṅgadeva (c. 1225 CE) is a 13th century text on musicology in Sanskrit. The fifth chapter of the Saṅgīta-ratnākara deals with a general analysis of all possible rhythms (tālas) which can be obtained by combining a set of basic rhythmic components known as tālāṅgas. Here, Śārṅgadeva describes the construction of the saṃyoga–meru (Table of Combinations), a tool that tabulates the total number of possible tālas of a given duration which are obtained by combining elements of different subsets of tālāṅgas. In this paper, we discuss the mathematical rationale employed by Śārṅgadeva in the construction of the saṃyoga–meru.
