Ang 1430

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: RAAG MAALAA: Each Raga has five wives, and eight sons, who emit distinctive notes. In the first place is Raag Bhairao. It is accompanied by the voices of its five Raaginis: First is Bhairavee, then Bilaavalee; then the songs of Punni-aakee and Bangalee; and then comes Asalaykhee. Then, there are the eight sons of Bhairao: the sounds of Pancham, Harakh and Disaakh; the songs of Bangaalam, Madh and Maadhav. Lalat and Bilaaval — each gives out its own melody, in the hands of those who make music. ||1|| In the second family is Maalakausak, who brings his five Raaginis: Gondakaree and Dayv Gandhaaree, the voices of Gandhaaree and Seehutee, and the fifth song of Dhanaasaree. This chain of Maalakausak brings along Maaroo, Masta-ang and Mayvaaraa, Prabal, Chandakausak, Khau, Khat and Bauraanad singing. These are the eight sons of Maalakausak. ||1|| Then comes Hindol with his five wives and eight sons; it rises in waves when the sweet-voiced chorus sings. ||1|| There come Taylangee and Darvakaree; Basantee and Sandoor follow; then Aheeree, the finest of women. She is also embellished with sons: Surmaanand and Bhaaskar come, Chandrabinb and Mangalan follow. Sarasbaan and Binodaa then come, and the thrilling songs of Basant and Kamodaa. These are the eight sons I have listed. Then comes the turn of Deepak. ||1||

Kachhaylee, Patamanjaree and Todee are there; Kaamodee and Goojaree accompany Deepak. ||1|| Kaalankaa, Kuntal and Raamaa, Kamalakusam and Champak are their names; Gauraa, Kaanaraa and Kaylaanaa; these are the eight sons of Deepak. ||1|| All join together and sing Siree Raag, which also has five women: Bairaaree and Karnaatee, the songs of Gawree and Aasaavaree; then follows Sindhavee. These are the five wives of Siree Raag. ||1|| Saaloo, Saarang, Saagaraa, Gond and Gambheer — the eight sons of Siree Raag — Gund, Kumb and Hameer. ||1|| In the sixth place, Maygh Raag is sung, with his five wives in accompaniment: Sorat’h, Gond, and the melody of Malaaree; then the harmonies of Aasaa are sung. And finally comes Soohau. These are the five with Maygh Raag. ||1|| Bairaadhar, Gajadhar, Kaydaaraa, Jabaleedhar, Nat and Jaladhaaraa. Then come the songs of Shankar and Shi-aamaa. These are the names of the sons of Maygh Raag. So all together, they sing the six Raagas and the thirty Raaginis, and all the forty-eight sons of the Raagas. ||1||1||
