A Comparative Study of Some of the Leading Music Systems of the 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th Centuries c4.s1.54

This is exactly the modern Kafi Thata of the Hindusthani musicians. The author of Koutuka and Prakasha has laid the whole of the Indian Music loving world under obligation to him for this clear exposition of the scale. As I said, however, the great question remains whether he copied all this from the Sangeet Parijata of Ahobala Pandit. The Parijata is a much more elaborate treatise and strikes the reader as an older treatise than the Prakasha. But until, some conclusive evidence is forthcoming on the point, we may reserve our judgement.
