It is curious that Pārśvadeva does not mention which of the 101 melodies cited by him he considers as rāgas proper, or major melodies, except that the early major rāgas (e.g. Takka, Mālava, Pañcama etc.) are mentioned incidentally as the sources of the derivative melodies described by him. Out of his list, he gives the characteristics of 43 rāgas which he says are popular in practice.¹ (Appendix 10).
