The list is somewhat nearer to the one given in \*Saṅgīta-makaranda\*,¹ with the peculiar difference that Megha, Śrī-rāga and Vasanta are replaced by Mallāra, Gauḍa-Mālava, and Deśākha as major melodies. The derivative rāgas ascribed to the major rāgas are, however, quite different from those given in the \*Saṅgīta-makaranda\* as will appear from the scheme set out in Appendix 4. It should be noted that these derivative melodies are designated as \*rāgas\* and not yet as \*rāgiṇīs\*. The new names of derivative melodies offered are Sālaga (? Sālaṅka), Triguṇā, Dhānī, Haripāla, and Dhoraṇi. - [Previous: c6.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.153) - [Next: c6.155](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.155) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6) ## Cites (4) - [Bhairava](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.saiva.stotra.bhairava) — Sanskrit - [Megha](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.north.megha) - [Saṅgītamakaranda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.sangita.prachina.sangitamakaranda) — Nārada, Sanskrit - [Vasant](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.hindi.sant.kabir.vasant) — Kabīr, Hindi --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c6.154) · Pramāṇa
