Of master musicians naming melodies after their own names, the typical example is that of the three masters patronised by Raja Mān Thomar of Gwalior, each of whom contributed one variety of mallār, called after them, Bukshoo-ki-mallār,” “Charjoo-ki-mallār,” and “Dhondee-ki-mallār.” The “Bāhādurī-Toḍī” is named after Sultan Bāz Bahadur of Mālwā, (1556-1570) who became their later patron.
