What it is
A teaching page that lists the sixteen note names with their variant numbers, says Sa and Pa are constant while the other five notes have variants, notes that R2/G1, R3/G2, D2/N1 and D3/N2 coincide, and defines the 72 parent ragas and the ascending and descending paths.
Why it is useful here
