How to know it

Shadava–Sampurna (vakra aroha) · Bhashanga

Jeeva swaras — the life notes:R2R2D1D1

The archetypal raga of grief and pathos in the Carnatic canon — slow, weighted phrases that composers reserve for sorrow and surrender; its rasa is karuna, shoka.

Anya (foreign) swaras:D1D1Suddha dhaivata (D1) replaces the parent's D2 in descent, making Mukhari bhashanga; the ascent's vakra N2 D2 S' keeps the chatusruti dhaivata alive.
