The Lakshana of Pumachandrika was

taken up.

Vidvan Tiger Varadachariar: Normally

the arohana is Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-pa-sa and

the avarohana Sa-ni-pa-ma-ga-ri-ga-ma-ri-sa.

Dha-ni-sa is also a prayoga. Rarely Sa-dhapa is also used.

Vidvan Muthiah Bagavathar: Arohana

Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-pa-sa; avarohana Sa-nipa-ma-ga-ma-ri-sa.

P. Ramakrishniah Pantulu sang a Ragamalika of Manambuchavadi Venkatasubbier

which had the prayoga Dha-ni-sa-ri.

Mr. Umayalpuram Venkataramier said:

^ That according to Venkatamakhi, the raga

was sampurna in Arohana.

Mr. Mutthiah Bhagavathar pointed out

that sometimes there would be clerical mistakes. The gita of Purandara Dasa had Sani-dha-ni-sa and that was not found elsewhere.

The president: The avarohana must be

Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-pa-sa.

At this stage, Mr. Ponniah Pillai, the president placed Mr. Tiger Varadachariar in the

chair and left the conference.

Mr. Umayalpuram Venkataramier sang

‘Thelisi Rama Chintanatho' and pointed

out there was no Dha-ni-sa in that Kirtana.

After some discussion it was agreed that

*lhe normal arohana was Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dhapa-sa and the normal avarohana Sa-ni-pa-maga-ma-ri-sa.

Mr. M. S. Ramaswami Aiyar wanted to

know whether Dha-pa-ma-ga-ma-ri-sa was

admissible. It was agreed it was admissible.

Apurvaprayogas, according to Mr. Muthiah

Bhagavathar would be Sa-ni-dha-ni-sa-ri and

Dha-ri-sa-ri.

Mr. T. L. Venkatarama Aiyar: According

to Venkatamakhi Dha-ni-sa-ri and Dha-ri-sari were admissible only in the mandrasthayi

and Dha-ri-sa-ri was used only in the mandrasthayi in ‘Sankhachakra’ Kirtana.

Mr. Muthiah Bhagavathar: According to

Purandara Sa-ni-dha-ni-sa was used only in

mandrasthayi.

It was finally resolved that its arohana and

avarohana were Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-pa-sa

Sa-ni-pa- ma-ga-r i-ga- ma-ri-sa.

In mandrasthayi, Dha-ni-sa and Dha-ri-sani were admissible.
