I do not claim any originality for this explanation of Bharata's srutis. The view was submitted before the first All-India Music Conference by a learned scholar of my part of the country, namely the late Mr. V. V. Phadke, retired first class subordinate judge, in the year 1916. The view appeals to me, and I have therefore, thought it proper to place it before my readers. The late Pandit Abraham of Tanjore also read a paper before the first All-India Music Conference at Baroda on the srutis of Sharangdeva Pandit, and showed that no scale in which the srutis were taken as unequal could under any circumstances be accepted as Sharangdeva's shuddha scale. The Pandit's paper is now printed and published, and I shall not write about it here.
