(4) "Deśākhyā Dākṣiṇātyāca Saurāṣṭrī Gūrjaritathā| Vangālī Saindhavī cobhe (?) pañcaitu tettupagrāgajāḥ"|| jarī, Vangālī, and Saindavī.¹ Of various melodies described by their note structures and notations we come across some new names such as ‘Stambha-patrikā’ and ‘Tumburu-priya’.² An interesting information is cited by the author as to the authorship of the well-known rāga known as ‘Reva-gupta.’ It is said that a person called Saṃgrāma Gupta was the creator of this melody.³ It is tempting to believe that he may have been a music expert associated with the Gupta dynasty. Nānyadeva devotes a small section of his work in indicating the presiding deity of the principal melodies. Some indications are also given as to the appropriate hours and seasons for the melodies.
