CLASSIFICATION OF RĀGAS.
c15.s18.2
According to "*Rāga-vivodha*" by Soma-nātha (1609 A.D.) The scheme belongs to the Southern or the Carnatic system according to which the 23 root-rāgas or *mela-rāgas* (major melodies) are chosen to which certain *janya-rāgas* (derivative melodies) are assigned on the basis of an analogy of note-structure. The number of derivative melodies cited are illustrative and not exhaustive.
