Verañjikā should be known to have gandhāra as its aṁśa and weak
pañcama. It should be performed with ṣaḍja as its nyāsa, bringing about the
mutual movement of şadja-dhaivata and similarly gāndhāra-ṛṣabha. Thus
should be known (this) bhāṣā; it is said to be hexatonic.

Combined with sadja as the initial and concluding one (graha-nyāsa),
complete, brilliant 15 with madhyama, there being the mutual concert
(samvāda<sup>16</sup>) between sadja-madhyama and the (two) svaras comprised of two
śrutis each (gāndhāra and niṣāda), chevāṭī should be known by the
knowledgeable ones in music as mūlabhāṣā.
