[D. The rāgas pertaining to rāga-gīti or vesarā-gīti]

[Anu. 190]

(Contention) Why is the word 'rāga' 64 used for the vesara (rāgas)? On account of the statement by the authorities. Similarly has said Kaśyapa - "Where the raga that is attractive in all the four varnas, is seen in its totality, they are known as rāgas."

[Anu. 191]

In the opinion of Durgaśakti , 'rāgas' themselves are known as being 'vesara'.¹ Thus has said Durgaśakti - "Vesaras are known to be so because the svaras move with speed."⁵ In the opinion of Durgaśakti vesaraṣāḍava alone is prominent on account of having 'inherited' the state of ṣāḍava (from śuddhaṣāḍava).² In the opinion of Kasyapa, on the other hand, takkarāga alone is prominent on account of being gratifying to Laksmi.³65 That is thus -

[1. Takkarāga]

Takkarāga is combined with şadja as amśa and nyāsa and is weak in pañcama. Dhaivatī and ṣadjamadhyamā are indicated as its cause.

(320)

[Anu. 192]

This means—takkarāga is related to ṣaḍjagrāma on account of being born of dhaivatī and ṣadjamadhyamā.⁷ Ṣadja is its graha, aniśa and nyāsa. There is the sparseness of niṣāda and pañcama. Niṣāda and gāndhāra are kākalī and antara here and this (rāga) is complete. It is used in the yuddhavīra (rasa).⁸ Vīra and adbhuta are the rasas⁴, the mūrchanā beginning with ṣaḍja obtains.⁹ Sañcārin is the varṇa. Prasannānta is the alankāra. The kalā is formed in the dakṣiṇa (mārga), the kalā obtains in the vṛtti (mārga) and the kalā prevails in the citra (mārga). A tāla like caccatputa obtains in the songs comprised of svara and pada.¹⁰

[2. Sauvīra]

Şadjais the amśa and nyāsa and ṣadjamadhyamā is the cause of sauvīra.¹⁴ Gāndhāra and niṣāda also is weak.¹⁵
