Alternate Melakarta Scheme
Muthuswami Dikshitar school followed a different set of scales as the 72 Melakarta ragas. These were taught by Venkatamakhin. Many of the scales were asampurna (not sampurna ragas) because Dikshitar chose to change the structure to mitigate ill-effects of usage of direct vivadi swaras in the scales.

“We doubt not the destiny of our country—that she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
