Information on Poet and composer
tyAgarAja perfected rAga vAcaspati in his work 'kanTa jUDumI krIganTa jUDumI'.
Secular meaning: Oh Lord, look at me. Look me at, (at least), with the edges of your eyes.
This is a sweet soothing tune. In experiments on cures with music, vAcaspati can also be tried to tranquilise agitated minds.
Information for Euro-American Music

Information for North Indian HindusthAni Music
Not able to trace rAg/ThATh with same name in HindusthAni.
Probably can use same name vAcaspati in HindusthAni also.
rhythm: tIn tAL.
Information for South Indian Music
vAcaspati is an independent mother tune with No. 64. It ranks just before kalyANi which is 65.
vAcaspati uses ^a, but kalyAni uses b.
kalyAni is a more popular rAga. Hence till we hear ^a in a composition, we get a feeling that we are listening to kalyANi.
For composers: We have to copy and paste the following notation in a text editor and convert into mid file using abc2midi. Thereafter, depending on need, we can convert into wav and mp3 file.
