³ According to Mataṅga (Bṛhaddeśī, T. S. S. p. 98) Mālava-Kaiśika is so called because it is derived the Kaiśikī-jāti melody’ (“Kaiśikī-jāti-sambhūtiḥ rāgo Mālava-kaiśikaḥ”|| (346). The term ‘Kaiśikī’ (literally—‘hair breadth’) is derived from the theory of Śrutis (microtones). Thus, ‘Kaiśikī nī’ is nikhāda (B) less by one Śruti.
