Sources draw on Sangita Ratnakara, Natya Shastra, and Bhatkhande’s Sangeet Paddhati. Dosha mappings from Charaka Samhita / Ashtanga Hridaya.
Carnatic melakarta 21 (Kiravani) adopted wholesale into Hindustani concert practice, especially by instrumentalists — the harmonic-minor scale. Its late-night placement is modern performance convention, not an old-text prahar assignment.
A pentatonic late-night raga on the Kafi thaat's komal Ga — Bhoopali's frame with the third flattened, turning calm into ache. Its codification is comparatively recent (it flowered in twentieth-century light-classical and film music), so time and vadi attributions are conventional rather than ancient — vadi/samvadi are left unstated here.
