The linked tradition describes an important resting Pa with frequent omission of Pa in flowing descents. The schematic movement includes that isolated resting note. Learn phrase treatment rather than treating the outline as a straight scale. 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.
