Raghupriya's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields no other melakarta ragam, like all 6 ragams in the Rishi chakra . Salagam, Jalarnavam, Jhalavarali, Navaneetam and Pavani being the other 5. Only these ragams have a gap of 3 notes anywhere in their scale, between G1 to M2. Such a gap does not occur in any other melakarta by definition. Graha bhedam is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the shadjam to the next note in the ragam.
