अतोद्यं सुषिरं नाम ज्ञेयं वंशगतं बुधैः । वैण एव विधिस्तत्र स्वरग्रामसमाश्रयः ॥ १ ॥

Therefore, the hollow (suṣira) instrument, known as the flute, made from bamboo, should be understood by the wise. The method of playing it is the same as that of the Vīṇā, following the rules of the musical scales (svaragrāma).
