By the vâdi is meant any note which, by reason of its continual recurrence, or by its being specially accentuated or dwelt upon, shows to the best advantage the characteristics of the râga. Hence the vâdi is called the “ Râjah ” (king), and by Hindustani musicians the “ Jân ” or life and soul of the râga.
