Dear Colleagues,

A student of mine wants to write his undergraduate thesis "on the confluence of neuroscience with Indian Classical Music ragas, specifically focusing on emotion, narratives, and time of day". He wants to incorporate a Sanskrit text that discusses a relationship between music (rāgas), aestheticized emotions (rāsa/bhāva), and possibly specific times of the day. Could you please suggest a text that would explore these topics?

His Sanskrit level is medium-advanced, so almost any text in Classical Sanskrit is acceptable.

Many thanks!
Nataliya
