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. - [Previous: c15.s19.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s19.1) - [Next: c15.s19.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s19.3) - [Up: c15.s19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s19.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c15.s19.2) · Pramāṇa
