The Music and Musical Instruments of Southern India and the Deccan c9.201

c9.201

In the above melody the characteristics of the râga S'ankârabharna are well shown. The glide to the upper C is never omitted in this râga. Another peculiarity of this air should be noticed: at the sign ‡ it will be seen that B is tied; the string is *twice* slightly deflected and shaken upon the fret, so as to sharpen the note to a degree less than a semitone, with a trembling effect.
