Śruti-bhinna technical_term

¹⁰¹ TRANSLATION [Anu. ¹⁸⁰] This means-leaving the other jāti and taking up its own root i.e. bedecked with its own jāti and kula (is formed the śuddhabhinna).54 [4. Bhinnakaisika] [Anu. ¹⁸¹] The description of śuddha (kaiśika) applies in its totality also to bhinnakaiśika. What is then the difference? The difference is formed by gīti. Śuddhakaiśika is sung in the \acute{s}uddh\~{a} g\~{i}ti, whereas bhinnakai\acute{s}ika is sung in the bhinn\~{a} g\~{i}ti. This is being said - The svasthāna^{56} (unit of tonal range) with which the rāga is elaborated in śuddhakaiśika, the rāga is not elaborated with the same svasthāna in bhinnakaisika. And its description is thus - Bhinnakaiśika is known by the knowledgeable ones in svara to have a form similar to that of śuddhakaiśika. It has ṣaḍja as its aṁśa, pañcama as its nyāsa (and) is complete with the seven svaras. (311) [Anu. ¹⁸²] This means - bhinnakaiśika is related to madhyamagrāma on account of being born of kaiśikī and kārmāravī jātis. Şadja is the graha and aṁśa. Pañcama is the nyāsa, niṣāda is kākalī here and it is complete. Although this rāga is like śuddhakaiśika, yet there is a difference. This has abundance of mandra (low notes). The svasthāna with which svara - ālāpa (tonal elaboration) is done in śuddhakaiśika, ālāpa has to be done with the same svaras (here), leaving that svasthāna⁵⁷ In śuddhakaiśika, ālāpa should be done with tāra (high) svaras and thus it becomes distinct on account of difference in form. Its application is prescribed in dānavīra (heroism in charity). Vīra, raudra and the like are the rasas. The mūrchanā beginning with ṣaḍja obtains. Sañcārinis the varņa. Prasannādi is the alaṅkāra. The kalā is formed in the dakṣiṇa (mārga), the kalā obtains in the vṛtii (mārga) and the kalā prevails in the citra (mārga). A tālalike caccatpuṭa obtains in the songs comprised of svara and pada. (Śruti-bhinna) Now he (the author) has spoken of the definition of śruti-bhinna - Where the svara comprised of four śrutis is modified by the one comprised of two śrutis and gāndhāra is comprised of only two śrutis, that is called śruti-bhinna.
