BHATKHANDE

At this time a wealthy family of Bombay appointed him as trustee to look after their property.

While studying old texts on music, he found that in many places the writing or meaning was not clear; there were grammatical mistakes and a lot of difference between the definitions and rules and what was being practised.

In 1904 he had an opportunity to visit South India. He went to Madras, Tanjore, Madurai and other places. There he met
prominet musicians.

As a result he got some authentic texts on music, like Chaturdandi Prakasika, Swara-mela- kala- nidhi. He got other important works copied from libraries.
