COMMENTS
"Ti & Ta on syahi. - NNa is a "flam" composed of two Na's; the second Na is on the beat.

I transcribed this medium/slow ektal theka from a wonderfull recording by Pandit Jasraj & Zakir Hussain, "Ornamental Voice", Music Label Chanda Dhara, Track no. 1: "Raga Nayaki Kanada".

The second part of the theka is dominated by the left-hand sequence: |Ge-GeGe|Ge---| wich is played two times across matras 9-10-11-12: | Dha-GeGe DheReKiTa | Dhin-GeGe Dha-Ti- | Sam." - Agostino De Marco
