"The modern Rāgas or arrangements of different notes may be equated to the different Sāmans named after a typical song (the *Chāla* of Indian music); these names are innumerable, such as Vāruṇa, Saubhara, Brāhma Rathantara, Vinardi, Yajñā-yajñīya, Yodhājaya, and so on" (C. V. Vaidya's *History of Sanskrit Literature*, vol. i, pp. 121 f.).
