    1st string: 'P
    2nd string: S
    3rd string: S
    4th string: 'S
    [2] Those which include both pa and ma. Here we have two types:
    (a) Those dominated by pa. The strings are tuned as in [1].

    (b) Those dominated by ma. Here the first string is tuned in 'm , that is , shud
    dha ma in mandra saptaka. The remaining three strings remain the same.
