The document discusses the origins of a framework for classifying musical ragas according to their classical or folk origins. This framework was first described in the Sanskrit work Brihaddeshi by Matanga Muni around 6 CE. Matanga Muni categorized ragas as either Marga (classical) or Desi (folk). This framework has since been applied to other artistic disciplines as well. The document also mentions a Classical Kannada scholar named Prof. M M Kalburgi whose multi-volume work on the subject was titled Marga.

What battle was described thus
“The plunder was so great that every private man in the allied army became rich in
gold, jewels, tents, arms, horses and slaves, the kings permitting every person to
retain what he acquired reserving the elephants only for their own use” - Ferishta
“Within a few hours these craven chiefs hastily left the palace, carrying with them all the
treasures on which they could lay their hands. Five hundred and fifty elephants, laden with
treasure in gold, diamonds and precious stones valued at more than a hundred million
sterling and carrying the State insignia and the celebrated jewelled throne of the kings left
the city under convoy of bodies of soldiers, who remained type to the Crown. King Sadasiva
was carried off by his jailor, Tirumala, now sole regent since the death of his brothers and in
long line the royal family and their followers fled southward towards the fortress of
Penukonda”- Robert Sewell

shatpadi) and some passages were (the narrative style) similar to Yakshagana
prasangas. Some research has also shown that the author was particularly
inspired by the “Krishna parijata” a performing art belonging to the Yakshagana of
northern interior Karnataka.
