'''Shadvidamargini''' (pronounced {{IAST|Shaḍvidamārgini}}, meaning ''the one with the road to a hundred forms of knowledge'') is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 46th ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''Stavarājam''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref><ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

==Structure and Lakshana==
[[Image:Shadvidamargini scale.svg|thumb|right|314px|''Shadvidamargini'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]

It is the 4th rāgam in the 8th ''chakra Vasu''. The mnemonic name is ''Vasu-Bhu''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra gi mi pa dhi ni''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on below notation and terms):
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R1|G2|M2|P|D2|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|M2|G2|R1|S|foot=yes}}

The ''swaras shuddha rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kaisiki nishadham'' are used in this scale. As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Natakapriya]]'', which is the 10th ''melakarta'' scale.

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Shadvidamargini'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Shadvidamargini|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for full list of rāgams associated with ''Shadvidamargini''.

==Compositions==
A few compositions set to ''Shadvidhamargini'' are:

*''Jnanam Osaga Rada'' by [[Tyagaraja]]
*''Andaranga Bhakthi'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]
*''Haimavate bhaja manasa'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]
*''sharanam tava charanam'' by Bharani

==Related rāgams==
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

''Shadvidamargini's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields ''[[Nasikabhooshani]]'', a minor ''melakarta'' rāgam. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam.
