CLASSIFICATION OF RĀGAS.

c15.s28.20

According to Bramhā. This name is more or less a mythical shadow, in Indian musical literature. According to old traditions, to Bramhā is ascribed the musical lore known under the title of Gandharva Veda Sāram. In the Sangīta makaranda of Nārada (G. O. S., Vol. XVI, p. 13, verse 18) Bramhā is mentioned as an ancient authority. But no authenticated work that could be ascribed to this author has yet been traced. The system of classification of melodies current under his name, is probably the opinion of some later authorities who ascribe it to Bramhā, in order to gain prestige and respectability. His system is followed by several authors.
