Not yet reviewed by a musician

A named writer on music analysed the song in this raag as an influence rather than a strict identity. This records what the source says; a musician has not checked the recording note by note. The source quotes Pankaj Rag, Dhunon ki Yatra.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Suneel Kumar Gupta, doctoral thesis on Madan Mohan (Banaras Hindu University, 2015), ch.7, printed p.344 (PDF p.8)

Source wording: “12 हमीर की छाया लिए ‘चंदा जा रे जा रे’ (लता-मनमौजी, 1962) यदि सुंदर रचना है, तो भीमपलासी आधारित ‘नैनों में बदरा छाए’ (लता-मेरा साया, 1966) अद्भुत ही है।” · Applies to: influence
