school Mathematical Permutations of Rishabha, Gandhara, Dhaivata & Nishada

The 72 Melakartha ragas form a perfect mathematical matrix consisting of two symmetrical halves of 36 ragas each:

The 6 Purvanga Swara Pairs (R & G Combinations):
  • Chakras 1 & 7: R1 G1 (Shuddha Ri, Shuddha Ga)
  • Chakras 2 & 8: R1 G2 (Shuddha Ri, Sadharana Ga)
  • Chakras 3 & 9: R1 G3 (Shuddha Ri, Antara Ga)
  • Chakras 4 & 10: R2 G2 (Chatusruti Ri, Sadharana Ga)
  • Chakras 5 & 11: R2 G3 (Chatusruti Ri, Antara Ga)
  • Chakras 6 & 12: R3 G3 (Shatsruti Ri, Antara Ga)
The 6 Uttaranga Swara Pairs (D & N Combinations): Within each chakra, the 6 ragas cycle through identical D & N pairs: 1. D1 N1, 2. D1 N2, 3. D1 N3, 4. D2 N2, 5. D2 N3, 6. D3 N3.

Adding 36 to any Shuddha Madhyama raga instantly gives its Prati Madhyama counterpart (e.g., #15 Mayamalavagowla + 36 = #51 Kamavardhani / Pantuvarali).
