[4. Bhāṣās in hindolaka]
Combined with ṣaḍja as aṁśa and nyāsa, weak in dhaivata, this vesarī bhāṣā
is formed with the (profuse) use of gandhara. The to and fro movement
between şadja and gandhara should be arranged there by the performers.

thus has been described chevāțī and concert between șadja-madhyama and
similarly şadja-gāndhāra should always be put up.

Having şadja às aṁśa and madhyama as concluding note, being weak in
niṣāda and ṛṣabha (which are also perhaps omissible), there being concert
between ṣaḍja-madhyama and similarly gāndhāra-pañcama, this bhāṣā, said to
be şadjamadhyamā, should be known to be hexatonic and pentatonic by
nature. It is sung also by Kinnaras.<sup>33</sup>
