How we verify

All 72 generated from Venkaṭamakhin's combinatorial scheme and checked programmatically against the closed-form chakra/variant rules — zero deviations.

71 of 72 melakarta names decode to their number under the documented consonant table and reading rules; Naṭabhairavī is a known historical anomaly, disclosed rather than hidden. See the Kaṭapayādi Explorer.

All 35 jāti forms and 175 gati variants verified against closed-form aṅga math (Dhruva 3j+2, Rūpaka j+2, etc.) — zero failures.

Every default cent value matches its exact 5-limit ratio to within ±0.02¢. Per-rāga overrides use real alternative śrutis, each cited (SSP, Rajagopalan 1990).

Every curated janya carries an audit record — a named source, correction notes, and a last-verified date — checked against Sambamoorthy's South Indian Music and cross-referenced with the app's own melakarta table via a permanent CI gate.

157 kritis' rāga and tāḷa labels are spot-verified against standard references; the notation layer runs a mātrā-count invariant gate with zero exceptions.

Rāga, tāḷa, composer, and the pallavi sahitya text for every geetham are now confirmed against 3+ independent published sources. The note-by-note melody is our own scale-conformant remapping of those real words — not a verified transcription of the authentic rhythm. Every geetham page discloses this explicitly.

Rāga, tāḷa, composer, and Pallavi sahitya are confirmed per-varnam against published sources. The Anupallavi, Mukthāyi Svara, Caraṇam, and Ciṭṭa Svara sections remain unverified placeholders pending a full primary-source transcription — disclosed on every varnam page.

17 are attested in Saṅgīta Ratnākara's 15 gamakas or the SSP's daśavidha 10 (labeled accordingly). The other 9 are contemporary pedagogical terms, marked "Contemporary" rather than attributed to a classical text.
