According to the Guru Granth Sahib, this raga is a mixture of two others: Bilaval and Sorath. This raga appears in the latter section in Gurbani, as only four hymns were composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth guru. These hymns were added by his son and successor Guru Gobind Singh in 1705 A.D. This raga is not mentioned in any Indian classical scriptures on music. It is also not mentioned in the Ragmala.[2] According to the Guru Granth Sahib, raga Jaijavanti (ਜੈਜਾਵੰਤੀ) expresses the feeling of happiness and satisfaction of achievement, however it simultaneously conveys the sadness of losing. An apt simile for this Raag is that of a king winning a battle, however he is then told that his son has perished on the battlefield. This Raag conveys a sense of having to put your duty first, no matter what your inner feelings may be. The duality of the emotions of joy and sorrow help to keep you stable and prevent you reveling in your own achievement.

It is considered to be a "Paramel Praveshak Raga", i.e a raga that has the characteristics of a particular mela or thaat and which has additional notes that enable it to be categorized under another mela or thaat. Jaijaivanti has both Suddh Ga and Komal Ga. It has Suddh Ni and Komal Ni usage as well. If more stress or focus is put on the Suddh Ga and Ni notes, the raga shows the characteristics of the Khamaj thaat. Whereas if more focus is applied on the Komal Ga and Komal Ni notes in the same raga , the characteristics of the Kafi Thaat are highlighted. It has the characteristics of both the Khamaj and Kafi thaat and hence called "Paramel Praveshak Raga".

gollark: USB 3 ports have to include separate USB 2 hardware connected to separate wires and everything to maintain backward compatibility.
gollark: Did you know that USB 2 and USB 3 are basically entirely separate?
