When the chans^e of key requires a different modu- 

 lation, the changes in the disposition of the S'ruii are 

 called Ficrit : they reckon twelve such. 



When a note is to be rendered graver or deeper, 

 they say that such a note takes one or more S'ruti from 

 the note immediately below it, as in the example of 

 the change from the Shadja Grama to the Madhyama 

 Grama ^ where Dha is made one Sruti flatter than in the 

 former scale. 



If a note is to be raised, the expression is, that such 

 a note gives one or more S'ruli to the note immediately 

 below it ; which operation renders the note propor- 

 lionally sharper, as its distance from the note immedi- 

 ately below it is consequently increased ; and, to that 

 immediately above it, the distance is in the same pro- 

 portion diminished. 



The Gandharu Grama is formed from the Madhyama 

 Grama ; and, in the construction of it, the Sangtia 

 Darpana points oOt three changes in tiie scale. 



1st. Gand-hara takes one Srnf i fwm Rishahha, and 

 becomes of three, i. e. by rendering the third note Ga 

 flat J the interval between Ri and Ga is reduced to :^
