    I think Nattai goes something like,
    s-r-g-m-p-d-n-s
    s-n-p-m-g-m-r-s

    Again, I am pretty sure that this is the basic idea of it, I do not know exactly the progression.

    If the guitar is tuned in fifths starting lowest string to highest(BF#BF#BF# or CGCGCG, or another combination).

    F#--------------------------------------------------------------
    B---------------------------------------------------------------
    F#--------------0--3-4-5-----5-4--0--------------------------
    B--0--3--4--5-------------------------5--4--5---3---0-----------
    F#--------------------------------------------------------------
    B---------------------------------------------------------------

    Note:

    This is only the scale not the "raga". To get it to sound like a raga, you have to try and emmulate the vocal version as much as possible.

    Cheers

    I am not sure what you mean "alternatively?

    If you tune to say, C and G, then C is the equivalent of Sa, and G is Pa.

    Hope that answers your question.
