A raag sharing Bhairav’s seven basic notes but favouring a more linear treatment. Ga and Pa assume a more prominent role in the cited account.

- Sampurna–Sampurna
The source describes a sampurna–sampurna outline and contrasts its lighter ornamentation with Bhairav. Occasional ornamental Ni variants do not make the two raags aliases. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. The selected daily window follows Raagtime; it does not erase gharana differences or seasonal flexibility. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
