Ragmala (Garland of the Raags), part 11 — the sons of Maygh Raag
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
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.
The eight smaller tunes of Maygh Raag, the rain cloud, are named, and some carry the rain in their names.
Maygh means rain cloud. Jaldhaaraa means a stream of water, so the watery mood reaches right down to the names.
Kaydaaraa and Nat are also full raags elsewhere in the book.
Think of a family where every child's name has something to do with the sea. You can hear where they come from just by their names. With this, the sixth family is complete. Only the final count is left.
Have you ever noticed a name that perfectly matches the thing it belongs to?
