| Sthayi | कान्हा मोहे आसावरी राग सुनाये | Kanha mohe Asavari raag sunaaye | Kanha plays the Asavari raga for me. |
| Sthayi | ग नि को आरोहन में छुपाये | Ga ni ko aarohan men chhupaaye | He leaves Ga and Ni hidden in the ascent. |
| Antara | धैवत वादी गा समवादी | Dhaivat vaadi ga samvaadi | Dhaivat is vadi, Ga the companion note. |
| Antara | मध्यम सुर ग्रह न्यास सु पंचम | Madhyam sur grah nyaas su pancham | Madhyam is the starting note, and Pancham the resting note. |
| Antara | अवरोहन सं पूरन दिखावत | Avrohan san puran dikhaavat | The descent shows a complete range of notes. |
Word notes
Aarohan is the ascending movement, and avrohan the descending movement. Grah names a starting note, and nyaas a note where a phrase settles. Vaadi and samvaadi identify the principal and companion notes.
