स्वरमेलकलानिधि mentions this राग among अधमरागs and defines it as
सन्यासः सग्रहश्चैव सांशः सम्पूर्ण एव च । सोमरागः सदा गेयो मन्द्रमध्यमभूषितः ।।
लक्ष्यसङ्गीत indirectly mentions it in दुर्गा of बिलावल मेल :
अवरोहे गसंयोगे सोमरागस्य नोद्भवः ॥

King Someśvara is an eminent authority on music as can be seen from the introductory stanzas of Sangitaratnākara1 and the first Sloka of the second Adhyāya of Sangītasamayasara". While dealing with the Namakarana ceremony the king advises that the male child should be named with suffixes such as simha, malla, bāhu, pāla, etc. This chapter shows that the king was very affectionate3 and tender-hearted.
EDUCATION OF THE PRINCE.
After performing the Upanayana ceremony in the eighth or eleventh year the prince should be taught one of the Vedas, the use of weapons and various other sciences. How many subjects the princes had to learn is given on page 110. They are required to be trained by experts and repeatedly examined by experts. When the king is pleased with the progress of the princes he should embrace them and honour them with sweet words and presents and the teachers should be presented with cows, towns or even villages. After educating the princes properly the king should get them married. The marriage customs also are given in the book. They appear like the present Maratha customs as observed in the royal family at Baroda excepting perhaps the use of s. p. 113. The Maratha bridegroom and the bride before are brought together face to face with a screen between them and the recitation of a goes on. They put garlands on the neck of each other after the removal of the screen put between them. The custom appears somewhat like that of the Aśvalayanas and resembles

कुमारं सुकुमाराङ्गमालिङ्गेदवनीपतिः । कर्णे कर्णे च कर्षन्तं वर्षन्तं हर्षमात्मनि ॥ पुत्रं गात्रात्समुत्पन्नमीक्षन्ते पुण्यभागिनः । पुत्राणां दर्शनं चन्द्रदर्शनादपि सौख्यदम || Of. धन्यास्तदंगरजसा मलिनीभवन्ति ।
