What srutis are seems to be fairly flexible. However, reasonably authentic conditions to impose are the following:

(1) It should contain the Sa-grama, 9/8-5/4-4/3-3/2-27/16-15/8-2
(1) It should contain the Sa-grama, 9/8—5/4—4/3—3/2—27/16—15/8—2.


(2) It should give the major whole tone, 9/8, four srutis, 10/9 three srutis, and 16/15 two srutis, hence giving the octave 22 srutis.

(3) 9/8, 10/9 and 16/15 are each always of the same size, and distinguished, with 9/8&gt;10/9&gt;16/15.

Many scales fulfill these conditions, and one of the most interesting, I think, is Magic[22], the 22-note MOS of the [[Regular_Temperaments#magic|magic temperament]]. Using the generator of 13 steps of [[41edo|41-et]], if we take the shrutis for 10/9 to always be 222, and the srutis for 16/15 to always be 22, we are left to give three steps of size 2, and one of size 1, for the srutis given to 9/8. If we vary the pattern of doing this we can get Magic[22]:

Here the numbers in parethesis are the scale step patters between one note of Sa-grama and the next.
