From the treatises

Hearing thereof, Sati loses her wits in a whirlwind, her heart is saturate with resentment towards Bhairon; with grief is her body bent, she wastes away in the black fire of jealousy.

tr. A. K. Coomaraswamy, Catalogue of the Indian Collections in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston — Part V: Rajput Painting (1926) · Public domain

About Raag Bhairon

Bhairon ThaatVadi DhivatSamvadi RakhabSunriseAutumnRich

Referred to as the King of morning raags, it is a very common and well known raag. According to a myth, Raag Bhairon was the first rag. It is said that it emanated directly from the face of Shiva. According to the late Hayat Ahmed Khan, the morning Azaan in the Holy Kaaba is given in Raag Shudh Bhairon. The performance for this raag is solemnly serious. The raag comes across as a musical entity with mood of meditation, philosophical depth and emotional richness.
