Vachaspati
वाचस्पति
The 64th Carnatic melakarta adopted into Hindustani concert practice (like Kirwani and Charukeshi) — Kalyan's body with komal Ni. Hindustani convention assigns it no settled prahar, so it is left untimed here.

Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta ±0 · Kapha ±0(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
An expansive, even-toned scale — its Kalyan-like body with a softened Ni settles vata without the tension of the sandhi-prakash ragas.
