Rasikapriya
The 72nd raga, Rasikapriya is the last one in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music. Referred to as Rasamanjari in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music, it is the last raga in the Aditya chakra with mnemonic name Aditya-Sha.
Arohana: S R3 G3 M2 P D3 N3 S
Avarohana: S N3 D3 P M2 G3 R3 S
The notes of Rasikapriya are shadjam, shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, shatsruthi dhaivatham and kakali nishadam. Ni, Ri and Ga are both deerkha swaras and jeeva swaras. The samporna raga is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Chalanata, the 36th Melakarta raga. This is one of those ragas that are not much heard in concerts.
There are only very few janya ragas of Rasikapriya. Some of the compositions in the raga include Sringara rasamanjarim by Muthuswami Dikshitar, Arul seyya by Koteeswara Iyer and Paripahi pahi by Kuttikkunhi Thangachi. Shifting the notes of the raga using Graha bhedam gives two ragas, Mayamalavagowla and Simhendramadhyamam.
