Appendix 4
c15.s4.1
According to *Sangīta Makaranda* by Nārada (circa 7th to 9th century A.D.)
c15.s4.2
Two systems are given one after another. According to the first scheme, the major melodies are eight in number, and the minor melodies twenty-four, aggregating thirty-two melodies. According to the second scheme, the major melodies are six in number, and the minor melodies, thirty-six, aggregating forty-two. Owing to a *lacuna* in the text, the second scheme is not available in its entirety.
c15.s4.3
The first scheme, with three rāginīs for each rāga, appears to be very old. But the text of *Sangita-makaranda* is, probably, not as early as the 7th century.
