'''Divyamani''' (pronounced {{IAST|Divyamaṇi}},<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref> meaning ''the divine gem'') is a [[rāga]]m in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of [[Carnatic music]]. It is the 48th in the series. It is called '''Jeevantika'''<ref name="dikshitar" /> or '''Jeevantini'''<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref> in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<br />

==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Divyamani scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Divyamani'' scale with Shadjam at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 6th rāgam in the 8th ''chakra Vasu''. The mnemonic name is ''Vasu-Sha''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra gi mi pa dhu nu''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''[[Swara#Svaras in Carnatic music|swaras in Carnatic music]]'' for details on below notation and terms):<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R1|G2|M2|P|D3|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D3|P|M2|G2|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the notes used in this scale are ''shuddha rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, shatsruthi dhaivatham, kakali nishadham'')<br />
<br />
As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Roopavati]]'', which is the 12th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
