The first twenty-six are varieties of 6m' or drums — known 

 in Ceylon as 6era, dawul, tammetta, and dekki. 



The next eight are varieties of lutes of the guitar kind, with 

 one or two gourds at the ends of the finger board, and are of 

 several varieties, enumerated according to the number of 

 strings and the octaves. This instrument is said to have been 

 invented by Narada Irshi, the son of Brahma. 



The next twenty-six are varieties of nald, and belong to 

 the class designated as wind instruments, in contradistinction 

 to stringed instruments. These are known as turya. 



The next five are varieties of musical cymbals used for 

 beating time in music.
