Abstract

The Rāgalakṣaṇa of Muddu Vēńkaṭamakhī is the first treatise to give the names of the 72 rāgāńgārāga-s and their janya rāga-s, and the Sańgītasampradāyapradarśini of Subbarāma Dīkṣitar published in the year 1904 follows this text and explains the rāga lakṣaṇa with illustrative phrases and also notations of compositions like gīta, varṇa, kṛti and other compositions. The gīta-s given in SSP are attributed to Vēńkaṭamakhī, and the gīta-s available in the 72 rāgāńgarāga-s are all lakṣaṇa gīta-s and the janya rāga-s are mentioned in these gīta-s under the respective rāgāńgārāga-s. However, it is seen that some rāga-s for which the lakṣaṇa-s are given in RL-MV are not listed in the gīta-s available in SSP. This paper is a comparative study of the janya rāga-s given in RL-MV with the janya rāga-s mentioned in the gīta-s given in SSP and to see if there are some reasons for leaving out these janya-s in the lakṣaṇa gīta-s.
