In the first column appear sixty-three \*Rāgs\* as given me by Ashreka Ganga Rām, whose teacher was Balwant Rao of Gwālior, a state which has a high reputation for music. Ashreka seemed to be particularly sure of his knowledge; and from no one else was I fortunate enough to get any certain information about the \*Rāgs\* which employ quarter-tones (see Nos. 2, 26, 33, 35, 36, 40, 41, 49 in App. II). The second column is taken from the \*Bālsangīt-bodh\* (Juvenile Singing Tutor) of T. B. Sahasrabuddhe, of the Poona Gayan Samāj (singing school). The third column is extracted from a list of eighty-three \*Rāgs\* in B. A. Pingle's \*Indian Music\* (Bombay, 1898); - [Previous: c11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c11.1) - [Next: c11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c11.3) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c11.2) · Pramāṇa
