This Rasa-Raga relation should be established with a more firm and sclentific basls. The old text books on Music like Saingita-Ratnakara and Sarngita-Dar paņa give descriptions of various Ragas, but they do not bring forth all the charactetistics of them, Many times, they are rather poetic than scientific and that is why they do not offer sufficient criteria determining the exact feelings in a particular Raga, Prof Ganesha Harl Ranade 87 has done a commendable work by giving a list of some Ragas along with their sentiments. But that is to be proved more scienifically. Music has got practical alde, If we succeed in reaching some definite conclusions in this sphero, it will cortalnly help to solve a very important problem in Sanskrit Poetics, I. e, the role of a poet or a dramatist in the aesthetic experlenco caused by various sentimonts in his own works.
