Now I shall speak of the śruti-maṇḍala of madhyama (- grāma). This Madhyama
(having four śrutis) should be known (located), having transgressed three4
(48)
(śrutis).
Having transgressed two śrutis (on the third śruti) should be (located)
pañcama.7 Thence having transgressed three (srutis) (on) the fourth (śruti) is
(49)
dhaivata.
Having transgressed one (śruti) niṣāda is known on the second (śruti).8
Having transgressed three śrutis then is (located) şadja on the fourth (śruti).6
(50)
Rṣabha is later (on) the third (śruti), leaving two (śrutis). Having
(51)
transgressed one śruti, (on) the second (śruti) is
gāndhāra.
The śruti-maṇḍala of madhyama-grāma is thus—5

pa
ga
гi
dha
ni

(Anu. 14)
Bharata, on the other hand, has shown śruti-maṇḍala (in
ṣaḍja-grāma)
beginning with rṣabha.65 What is the reason? It is being said. In order to
diagram
śruti-maṇḍala — madhyama-grāma
Analogous to p021 diagram but for madhyama-grāma: śruti distribution shifted by one position (pañcama with 3 śrutis instead of 4).
