Mālava-Kauśika, Hindola, Dīpaka, Śrī and Megha (Amvuda), each having five wives and eight sons, set out in Appendix 15. The list offers many new names of rāgiṇīs, and melodies with similar names are differentiated and separately described. Thus Velāvalī and Velāval are treated as two different melodies, which are justified by different descriptive verses and also by distinct pictorial conceptions. Similarly Vaṅgāl, and Vaṅgālī are sought to be distinguished as two different melodies. Illustrative pictures corresponding to them may be taken to be represented by Plates VIII, IX & X.
