STEP 2: Four cycles of Prabhupada tala

X										0						2
1	2	3	4	5	6		7		8	9	10		11		12	13	14	15	16
dha		ti	tā	tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki	ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā	dhin	dhā	dhin	dhā
X										0						2
1	2	3	4	5	6		7		8	9	10		11		12	13	14	15	16
dha		ti	tā	tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki	ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā	dhin	dhā	dhin	dhā
X										0						2
1	2	3	4	5	6		7		8	9	10		11		12	13	14	15	16
dha		ti	tā	tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki	ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā	dhin	dhā	dhin	dhā
X										0						2
1	2	3	4	5	6		7		8	9	10		11		12	13	14	15	16
dha		ti	tā	tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki	ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā	dhin	dhā	dhin	dhā

STEP 3: Recall mukhra 4

1		2		3		4		5	6	7		8
Tā		Tā		ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā	–	Tā		Tā
9		10		11		12		13	14	15		16
ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā		–		Tā	Tā	ti	tā	ki	ti

Just like Example 2, Mukhra 4 contains 16 beats. Prabhupada tala contains sixteen beats. So the last cycle is completely replaced by Mukhra 4.

												0								2
												9		10		11		12		13		14	15		16
												ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā		ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā	ti	tā	ki	ti
X												0								2
1	2	3		4		5	6		7		8	9		10		11		12		13		14	15		16
dha		ti		tā		tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki		ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā		dhin		dhā	dhin		dhā
X												0								2
1	2	3		4		5	6		7		8	9		10		11		12		13		14	15		16
dha		ti		tā		tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki		ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā		dhin		dhā	dhin		dhā
X												0								2
1	2	3		4		5	6		7		8	9		10		11		12		13		14	15		16
dha		ti		tā		tā	ra	ti	ra	ti	tā	ki		ti	ki	tā	ghe	dhā		dhin		dhā	dhin		dhā
X												0								2
1	2	3		4		5	6		7		8	9		10		11		12		13		14	15		16
Tā	Tā	ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā	–		Tā		Tā	ti	tā	ki	ti	dhā		–		Tā		Tā	ti	tā	ki	ti

Since mukhra 1 is only eight beats that functions to start off the first cycle of Prabhupada tala, the mukhra begins at matra 9.
