So, we find that the melodies of the Bhairava group e.g. Bhairva, Yogiyā, Vibāsa, Gunakarī etc., take the \*Śuddha-madhyama\* and are sung in the morning; while those belonging to the Pūrvī group, viz., Śrī, Gaurī, Jeta-Śrī, Puriyā-Dhānesvarī, Mālavī, Travanī, use the \*tīvra madhyama\* and are sung in the evening. The \*Sandhi-prakāśa rāgas\*, assigned to the period of time which represents the junction (\*Sandhi\*) of the day and night, use both the \*madhyamas\*; one group is sung just before sunrise (e.g. Lalita, Pañcama, Bhāṭiyārī, Rāmakeli etc.) while the other group, (Pūrvī and its cognates) are sung just after sunset. - [Previous: c8.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c8.64) - [Next: c8.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c8.66) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c8.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c8.65) · Pramāṇa
