Appendix 19
c15.s17.1
According to *Catvārimśacchata-rāga-nirūpaṇam* by Nārada (circa 1525-1550 A.D.)
c15.s17.2
This treatise offers a scheme of 10 major male melodies, with five wives for each, four sons for each with four wives. It is quite possible that a scheme of 10 male rāgas is earlier than that of six male rāgas. More probably, this is an attempt to ammalgamate two alternative schemes.
c15.s17.3
10 Male rāgas. Śrī-rāga, Vasanta, Paṇcama, Bhairava, Kouśika, Megha-rāga, Naṭṭa-nārāyaṇa, Hindola, Dīpaka, and Hamsaka.
