- That’s why the restrictions of separation are more suitable in this raag. This is Meend Pradhan Raag. The connoisseurs consider this raag to be a mixture of raag Madhuvanti and raag Malkauns.
- ,Sa Ga(k)Ma(t)Pa – With these swaras, the form of Madhuvanti is visible and while coming from Gandhar Komal to Shadaj, Gandhar Komal comes to Shadj with Meend, in which Kaus’s raagng is reflected.
