Quoted text:

Not only classical Greece but also in India the Rg Veda dealt with the cosmology of musical temperament. But unlike the western European tradition, it proscribed arguments over tuning the scale. (And partly as a result, henceforth, Hindu music went its own way, as did its astronomy, calendar-making, and financial and economic development.)

Can you help us add citations for this (that are in addition to the ones cited in the next paragraph of body text)? Perhaps one source could be this one, among others.
