Ni’ denotes the swara ‘nishada’ which
is the seventh in the swarasaptaka (the
seven-swara arrangement) of our music.
The term ‘nishada’ is etymologically
explained as ‘nisheedanti swaraa
asmin’—that which marks the finale of
the (arrangement) of swaras; thus echoing
the placement of the swara in the gamut
of seven.
