Question Asked : SSC Combined Graduate Level Prelim Exam 2005
Explanation : The legendary musical prowess of Tans en surpasses all other legends in Indian music. In terms of influence, he can be compared only to the prolific sufi composer Amir Khusro (1253-1325), or to bhakti tradition composers such as Swami Haridas. Several of his raga compositions have become mainstays of the Hindustani tradition, and these are often prefaced with Miyan ki (“of the Miyan”), e.g. Miyan ki Todi, Miyan ki Malhar, Miyan ki Mand, Miyan ka Sarang; in addition he is the creator of major ragas like Darbari Kanada, Darbari Todi, and Rageshwari. Tansen also authored Sangeeta Sara and Rajmala which constitute important documents on music.
