Not yet reviewed by a musician

A named writer on music analysed the song in this raag. This records what the source says; a musician has not checked the recording note by note.

Evidence: Named musician's analysis · Rajan Parrikar, Hindustani raag articles, Bhairavi (Part 1/2) — https://www.parrikar.org/hindustani/bhairavi/ — paragraph opening: “We begin with an invocation to that abiding symbol of learning, Goddess”

Source wording: “We begin with an invocation to that abiding symbol of learning, Goddess Saraswati. The text is a traditional description of the devi. The tune, credited to Allaudin Khan, was adapted by composer Jaidev for ALAAP (1977). Lata Mangeshkar is assisted by Dilraj Kaur: Mata Saraswati Sharada.”
