Takka must be one of the oldest raga names .
Ocean has info about the Hindustani prakar in Bhairavi Th .
In Carnatic music a raag with the same name is categorized under the 15th Melakarta MayamalavaGowla .
More research could maybe show if the raga from Matanga´s time was similar to today´s incarnations .
From sreenivasaraos.com about Matanga ( probably from the Brihaddeshi : 6th to 8th century CE )
" He also mentions that the eight varieties of Ragas went by the name of (1) Takka, or Taku; (2) Sauvira; (3) Malava-panchama; (4) Shadava or Khadava ;(5) Votta·raga; (6) Hindolaka; (7) Takka-Kaisika; and, (8) Malava-Kaisika
Here then we have the first enumeration of eight of the earliest ragas known by name. Some of them may have been derived from the 18 jatis described by Bharata. "
