Appendix 21

c15.s19.1

According to Rāga-Darpana by Dāmodara Miśra (circa 1625 A.D.)

c15.s19.2

The author first cites the scheme current in his time in the North, and then quotes the schemes according to the Schools of Someśvara, Hanuman, and “Rāgāranava.” He also gives a list of twenty rāgas, which probably represented a traditional group, which may have been popular before the time of the author. Their names are:—Śrī-rāga, Natta, Vangāla, Bhāsa, Madhyama, Sādava, Rakta-hamsa, Kohlīsa, Prabhava, Bhairava, Dhani, Megha-rāga, Soma-rāga, Kāmoda, Āmra-Pancama, Kandarpa, Deśākhya, Kukubha, Kaiśika, and Natta-Nārāyana. Of these many must have ceased to be current in practice at the time of the author.
