Please listen to a beautiful Marati Abhang of Sant Namdevar, sung by Smt. Sudha Raghunath. The song is " Maje Manoratha Poornakari deva- Kesava Madhava Narayana ". Please identify the raga of this song. This song is sung in the Madhyama Sruti and has some familiarity to rag Hamsavinodhini. The audio link is as under

But what bothers me is the use of the pratimadhyamam!

OK! here is the lyric

Majhe Manoratha poorna keeje deva | Keshava Madhava Narayana
Nahi Nahi Majha anikya so yara | na kari ahvera Panduranga
Anathantsa natha toshi tu dayala | Kiti velo vela Pranthu Aatha
Nama mhane jeeva Hoto kasa veesa | keli tuji aas atha bari ||
