Rāgavibodha (रागविबोध).—The Rāgavibodha by Somanātha (1609 a.d.) is unique for the system of meḷakartās (melākartās), which anticipated Veṅkaṭamakhin’s system. The utility of Somanātha’s scheme might have been very little since scales built upon microtones are practically useless. But it did pave the way for the present Meḷakartā-scheme. Somanātha enumerates only 23 meḷas as being well-known in his time.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
