In the upper left border of Sorath (or Gujari) Ragini are two cartouches from the dismantled ijazah (permission to work as a calligrapher) of Al-Sayyid Idris Ghalib (Galib) Efendi; the upper cartouche is signed by al-Sayyid Muhammad Rushdi (Mehmed Rüşdi), pupil of Sayyid Hafiz Muhammad Wafa Hisari (Mehmed Vefa Hisari). The date on this has been obscured. The middle cartouche is signed by al-Sayyid Hafiz Muhammad Tawfiq ibn Muhammad al-Wafa (Mehmed Tevfik ibn Mehmed Vefa).

All the other cartouches belong to an ijazah awarded to Sayyid ‘Ali al-Wahbi (Vehbi) dated 1229 (1813-14). The masters who have signed it are ‘Uthman Kamili (Osman Kamili), Ibrahim ‘Afif, Husayn al-Hasani, ‘Uthman al-Rushdi (Osman Rüşdi) and Hafiz Ibrahim Shawqi (Şevki).

A well-known, late eighteenth-century ragamala set with comparable depictions is part of the Johnson Album (37, nos. 1-36) in the India Office Library (see T. Falk and M. Archer, Indian Miniatures in the India Office Library, London, 1981, nos. 426 i-xxxvi pp. 228-231, ill. pp. 506-514.)
