Observation.—The srutis between shuddha 'ga' and shuddha 'ma' are four, the fourth being the sound of the shuddha 'ma'. The gandhara therefore could move up four srutis, right upto the place occupied by the shuddha 'ma'. It will be carefully noted that the note 'ri' only became komal but not tivra. The note gandhara again, only moved up and became tivra, but was not allowed to go back and become komal.
