Dropping out more than two swaras
results in a scale that is very limited and experience suggests that it is
virtually impossible to create a distinct raga swaroopam with the remaining swaras. However,
there are some ragas which use only four swaras in the arohanam or avarohanam as in the case of
Navarasa Kannada, derived from the 28th melakarta Harikaambhoji, with a structure of Sa-Ga-Ma-Pa-Sa,
Sa-Ni-Da-Ma-Ga-Ri-Sa. Just like a complete arohanam or avarohanam is called sampoornam, one with a
single swara dropped out is called shadava and one with two swaras
left out is termed oudava. Allowing the arohanam and avarohanam to be sampoornam, shadava or
oudava independently, the following possible arohanam - avarohanam types can be constructed.
