Seventeen matras in 6+6+5 — claps on 1 and 7, wave on 13. Two long six-beat strides, then a five that arrives early — the name means "summit," and the tala is treated accordingly: outer-repertoire material for solo display and instrumental tours de force.
The theka stretches open phrases across the sixes ("Dha Dhi Na Dha Tu Na...") before the compressed five closes the loop. Long odd cycles are held by internal grouping, never raw counting; this one rewards the player whose sixes are so secure the shortened last stride sounds like intention, not accident.
