Deśī rāgas technical_term

VIMARŚA ³¹⁵ a bhāṣā is something that deserves special notice. 31. 'Pārvatī' is associated with parvata or mountains; whether or not a particular mountainous region is implied, is hard to confirm. "Parvata is 1. a country in the Panjab to the north-west of Multan between the Ravi and Sutlej. 2. same as Śrīśaila" (Nando Lal De ). It is difficult to say whether the mountains in general or a particular mountainous region or either of the two identifications cited above is intended. Chapter V (Deśī rāgas) 1. This verse bears a distinct stamp of the Tantric stream and is significant on account of being placed in the beginning of the chapter on desī rāgas. It could be conjectured on the evidence of this verse and on other evidence also that our author gave rāga-dhyānas for deśī rāgas (see Vol.III). 2. Deśī rāgas are contradistinct to grāmarāgas. 3. Reference to laksya in the context of desi rāgas points to the fact that they must have been in vogue in the author's time. 4. The citation in the name of Matanga given by Kalli, in his commentary on SR II.2.1. also mentions these three types of desī-rāgas, but Sārngadeva has added a fourth category named upānga. 5. 'Chāyā' is subtle similarity. 6. The special mention of panegyric in the context of bhāṣāṅga rāgas is worth noticing. 7. 'Bhāṣā 'here would include vibhāṣā and antara-bhāṣā. 8. 'Kriyā' seems to stand for expressive rendering. 9. Karuņā and utsāha are two pervasive names that symbolise mādhurya and ojas respectively (See Vol. III). 10. The text is mutilated at this point and a small portion on bhāṣāṅga rāgas seems to have survived. 11. Kacchelli could perhaps, be related to Kacch (Cutch); "it was called Marukaccha in contradistinction to Kausiki-kaccha". (Nando Lal De). 12. Māngalī has been described as a bhāṣā in the preceding section. 13. Bhammāṇa is not known as a region. 14. 'Pulindikā' refers directly to the ethnic group known as the pulindas. 15. Gāndhārasindhu is mentioned as a bhāṣāṅga rāga in S Rāj II.2.3.203, but is said to be out of vogue and is not, therefore, described. 16. Karņātī is described in S Raj II.2.3.208, but the laksaņas are different.
