English — Sharma (translation)

prescribed; ṣāḍava is in pūrvaranga⁷, but in the citra (pūrvaranga?)comprised of eighteen aigas (components), kaišikamadhyama (is performed) in the end. This is the application of śuddha rāgas prescribed by Brahmā."

[NS as quoted in Kalā on SR II.2.30-32]

[B. Bhinna rāgas]

Now he (the author) has spoken of the description of bhinna rāgas. Bhinna (modified) 45 on account of śruti, bhinna on account of jāti, bhinna on account of śuddha (rāga) similarly having (bhinna) svara, it (this category of rāgas) is called bhinnaka because it is modified in respect of (the above) four.²

(304)

[Anu. 172]

(Contention) Whatisstated by the word 'bhinna?' Does the word bhinnamean that which is split or does it mean 'this is distinct from that'? This should not be said. 'Bhinna' here is said to be vikṛta (modified). The state of being vikṛta is according to the prescription given before in terms of śruti-bhinna and the like.³

[Svarabhinna]

[Anu. 173]

Now for the sake of elucidating the aforesaid description of bhinna (rāgas), the definition of svarabhinna (out of the four) is being spoken of in the beginning - When the <math>v\bar{a}din^{46}</math> is upheld (as the initial note) and the <math>sainv\bar{a}din</math> or <math>anuv\bar{a}din</math> or vivādin is released (as the finale), that is called svara-bhinna.

(305)

[Anu. 174]

This means – the madhyama that is the graha and amsa of suddha-sādava (rāga) that belongs to madhyamagrāma, is replaced with dhaivata⁵ that is taken up as being vivādin or anuvādin. When the samvādin of the svara madhyama is treated as a point of release (tyāga) or placement (nyāsa), then it is called svara-bhinna. In bhinna-ṣaḍja, dhaivata is vādin on account of 'speaking out' (vadana) and it is again of abundant usage. (Contention) Out of the five (bhinna) rāgas, why is bhinna -ṣaḍja being described in the beginning itself? Truly has it been said, on account of its prominence.⁸ Its prominence is thus-just as in the (rāgas of) śuddhagīti, there is the prominence of śuddha ṣāḍava, similar is the case of bhinna ṣaḍjain the (rāgas of) bhinna gīti, on account of this (bhinna-ṣadja) being a variety of that (śuddha sādava).⁴⁷
