| 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.
| |
| | |
| (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 > 10/9 > 16/15.
| |
| | |
| Many scales fulfill these conditions, and one of the most interesting, I think, is Magic[22], the 22-note MOS of the [[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]:
| |
| | |
| 1—(2212)—9/8—(222)—5/4—(22)—4/3—(1222)—3/2—(2221)—27/16—(222)—15/8—(22)—2
| |
| | |
| Here the numbers in parethesis are the scale step patters between one note of Sa-grama and the next.

| Magic is the 22&41 temperament; we can also concoct srutis out of shrutar, the 22&46 temperament. We now make each 9/8 a 2222 in [[46edo|46et]], and each 16/15 a 22. This leaves two 2 steps and a 3 step for 10/9, where we can vary the pattern. This time we make it
| |
| | |
| 1-(2222)-9/8-(322)-5/4-(22)-4/3-(2222)-3/2-(2222)-27/16-(223)-15/8-(22)-2
| |
| | |
| This gives Shrutar[22].
