The reference distinguishes this raag from Basant despite the shared name. Its treatment of Re and Dha differs from the oscillation associated with Bhairav. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
