A short treatise on Hindu Music, in Brajabhāsā verse by Diwan Lachiram, written in Gurumukhī characters survives in a manuscript² bearing a colophon dated Samvat 1880 (A.D. 1823). The second chapter (prabhāva) describes the six rāgas and in the following chapter the rāginīs are described with some elaboration. The verses given in this text have not been traced on any rāginī miniatures.
