ABSTRACT
In combinations anuloma-pratiloma the changes occur with complete disregard for giving any feeling of a different tempo or metre. Through this technique, almost any conceivable numerical relationship can be found. Anuloma defined as when the number of matras in a beat is doubled, tripled or quadrupled. Pratiloma defined as when the number of matras in a gati is spread throughout 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 beats. Until now, all frames provided in superimposition of gatis have always been expressed in, with the exception of mixed jathi nadai bhedam. Notation is presented in the karnatic tradition and written in parenthesis, one or even two different systems of western notation. Combinations anuloma-pratiloma is possibly the most difficult technique to master as a performer, and without doubt the one that would require the longest time to master. Superimpose chatusra, khanda and tisra on the underlined number. The rest of the numbers should be done in regular chatusra.
