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. - [Previous: c15.s17.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s17.1) - [Next: c15.s17.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s17.3) - [Up: c15.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s17.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s17.2) · Pramāṇa
