Morning and evening versions are identified in the cited performances. They are not forced into one ascent, descent or thaat, and are not merged with Carnatic Malavi. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Unmarked octave positions are not inferred. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
