: Ah, thanks for explaining, Yourmusic. Well, I was asking because I thought that whatever the answer was should be explained in the article itself. But if it's some Hindu meditation practice reference — not a simple acronym for a math or music term — then I don't understand enough to explain the connection and/or motivation myself, so I must ask someone else to take care of explaining it, then.

If there is, then ''that'' consideration should also be surfaced, as well as explained in the article itself. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 19:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
