Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (सङ्गीतोपनिषत्सारोद्धार), a text from Gujarat written about 1350 by the Jain author Sudhakalasa is the earliest in which we find visualisations for male and female ragas. It contains a scheme of six male ragas and thirty-six females called bhashas, all described in the style of deities visualised for worship. An earlier set illustrating the descriptions in the Sangitopanishatsaroddhara is found on the border of a Jain Kalpasūtra manuscript dating to about 1450.
