The multifarious relations between the sound and the word were a subject of concern for Indian authors starting from the Vedic period. It was the Samaveda and its creators that noticed the emotional value of the sound and the impact of euphonic combinations on the audience. The interactions of music and text are clearly visible in theatrical traditions although there are also some other meeting points of literature and Indian arts. Diversity and interdisciplinary breadth were the chief criteria while collecting the articles for the present volume.Contents: Lidia Sudyka: Introduction; Emilio Ghezzi: Holst and Indian Music; Gabriella Ferrero Olivero, Daniela Rossella: Sita: A Rare Gustav Holst Opera Based on Valmiki's Ramayana; Lidia Sudyka: Sita: Indyjski hymn milosci (Sita: Indian Hymn of Love) - A Libretto by Jan Kasprowicz; Iwona Milewska: Konstanty Regamey - An Orientalist, a Composer Who Combined Ancient Oriental Lyrics with Modern Music, an Art Critic and an Art Theoretician; Katarzyna Subocz: The Emotional Value of a Sound According to Sanskrit Treatises on the Theory of Literature; Anna Nitecka: Abhinavagupta on Music; Maria Krzysztof Byrski: The Vrtti Theory of Communication; Klara Gönc Moacanin: Antaryavanika: The Musical Part of Purvaranga; Bozena Sliwczynska: The Vacika-abhinaya in the Kutiyattam Theatre Tradition; Lidia Sudyka: Kiratarjuniya in South India: The Story As Depicted in Literature and Art with a Special Reference to the Lepakshi Temple; Dorota Kaminska: Gods as Embodiments of Ragas: The Iconography of Divinities in Ragamala Art; Anna Slaczka: The Iconography of the Hindu Deities in the Devyamata, an Early Saiva Pratisthatantra
