And the water spreads over the vines. Analysis.—The ascending progressions in this song are more in number than the descending, which is unusual in Indian songs.

The rhythmic unit occurs several times but is not an inter- esting phrase. The song is particularly vigorous in character. The following song was recorded with the ''seraping sticks" which are used with this class of songs,.
