- Vakra janya of Natabhairavi (mela 20)
Raga Surabhi places this under Natabhairavi, mela 20. No Hindustani thaat, principal-note pair or listening hour is imposed. This is distinct from Hindustani Anand Bhairav. Carnatic notation: numbered swaras retain the source’s pitch positions; apostrophe indicates upper Sa. The outline does not describe every ornament or permitted phrase. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
