The Hindus have three Gramas or scales : viz. 

 Shadjd- Grthna, Madhyama- Grama, and Gdndhdrd' Grama. 

 The foregoing arrangement of the «SV2^// is that of the 

 SJiadja Grdma, whicli consists of two disjunct, but per- 

 fectly similar, Tcirachords, separated by a major tone. 

 The Madhyama- Grdma is formed from this, by a trans- 

 position of the major tone between Pa and Dha, and 

 oF the minor tone between Dha and A7 ; thus the 

 technical language of Hindu music, Dha takes one 

 S'ruti from P./, and becomes thus possessed of four, 

 leaving three to Pa. 

 ' The two Gramas may be thus represented.
