===Raga – Bairagi Bhairav===

The meaning in English of this composition is somewhat as below.

''You should practice to sing the correct notes and sing them melodiously. The words of your composition should be beautiful and well-interwoven in the rhythmic patters. I (AMAR) say that, while singing, you must constantly watch your breath. If you follow these, you would present ripples of good and enjoyable music.''<ref>Communications with S. R. Ekkundi, G. H. Gaonkar, and Nadkarni's disciple Shaila Piplapure from the generations of Bhendibazaar gharana.</ref>
