Answer 2

The Natyashastra takes these 4 types as provided and divides them into four chapters: stringed instruments, hollow instruments, solid instruments, and cover instruments.

Definition of Natyashastra:

Natyashashtra:

• The Natyashastra is a national treatise on theatre and dance that details the story behind the evolution of the arts in India.
• Before the Natyashastra was established, ancient Indian tradition divided musical instruments into four divisions depending on their acoustic principle.
• The Natyashastra accepts all four categories as provided and devotes four chapters to them: one for stringed instruments (chordophones), one for hollow instruments (aerophones), one for solid instruments (idiophones), and one for covered instruments (idiophones) (membranophones).

Then the Natyashastra takes these 4 types as provided and divides them into four chapters: stringed instruments, hollow instruments, solid instruments, and cover instruments.
