In almost these works a somewhat similar classification of the râgas and râginis has been adopted. There are six principal râgas personified as demigods, each of which has a certain number of râginis (personified as the wives of the râgas)—sometimes five and sometimes six—appended to it. - [Previous: c6.92](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.92) - [Next: c6.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.94) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.93) · Pramāṇa
