An early term synonymous with the modern term that which means a generative framework of seven notes arranged by selectively including/omitting certain notes. These frameworks are used to extract raga-frames elaborated in music-making. Obviously, that-s themselves are not expected to be presented as music. They merely function as launching-pads for the music to be created. The use of the term marks an end to the murchhana system of music-making prevailing till about the sixteenth century.
