Divyamani
This vivadi mela called Divyamani ranks as the 48th raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music. Known as Jeevantika or Jeevantini in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music, this raga does not have many compositions to its credit as it is not very suited for alapana.
Arohana: S R1 G2 M2 P D3 N3 S
Avarohana: S N3 D3 P M2 G2 R1 S
The notes of Divyamani are shadjam, shuddha rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, shatsruthi dhaivatham and kakali nishadam. Being the sixth raga in the Vasu chakra, it has mnemonic name Vasu-Sha. This sampoorna raga is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Roopavati, the 12th Melakarta raga.
Ragas like Deshamookhari, Dundubi and Shuddha Gandhari are all derived from Divyamani. Two important compositions set to this raga are Appa muruga by Koteeswara Iyer and Leela ganu joochi by Thyagaraja. The notes of this raga do not give any other raga when shifted using Graha bhedam.
