Bhairav denotes the melodic family, not an exact seven-note thaat match. No universal scalar form is imposed. The selected morning period follows the time index. 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.
