Āhīr Bhairav
Tender and pastoral — Bhairav softened by a folk breeze.
A blend of Bhairav in the lower tetrachord with the komal Ni of Kāfī above. The result is warmer and more melodic than Bhairav proper, and it sits comfortably in light-classical and film idioms as well.
अयं भागः भवतः भाषायां न अस्ति — आङ्ग्लभाषायां दर्शितः।
आरोहः, अवरोहः, पकडश्च
स्वरलिपिसंकेतः — कोमलस्वराः लघ्वक्षरैः, तीव्रमध्यमः M′, मन्द्रसप्तकः ˌ, तारसप्तकः ′ इति।
रागस्य गतिः
The komal Re of the pūrvāṅg is oscillated as in Bhairav; from Ma upwards the rāga turns bright with śuddha Dha and komal Ni. Ma is the note of rest and the vādi.
प्रयुक्ताः तालाः
Albelā sajan āyo re
X = समः · 0 = खाली · 2, 3, 4 = ताली · एकं कोष्ठं = एका मात्रा · – = विलम्बनम्।
Widely taught as a first Āhīr Bhairav composition. Keep the antarā's upper Sa approached through komal Ni — that turn is the whole character of the rāga.
