Now \*thât\* consists in determining the relative intervals between several sounds, which constitute an octave with respect to each other. A râga is formed from these, in its composition employing the whole or less number of the intervals of the \*thât\*, and with a peculiar melodic style of its own; in fact, a melody type formed upon a mode. This, however, is more fully explained in another chapter. - [Previous: c6.91](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.91) - [Next: c6.93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.93) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.92](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.92) · Pramāṇa
