Comments – This has the notes but it just does not move very close to Asawari.  Let’s just call it a Mishra Asawari.

Comments – This piece has a certain resemblance to Adana, Jaunpuri, and Darbari Kanada.  But there is just so much mixing.  To complicate things even more, there is a quite prominent use of the Suddha Ga.  Still I think that one could declare this to be “Mishra Asawari” with a certain confidence.
