Anecdote on raga identification

Interesting anecdotes narrated by Sanjay.

But what exactly is "mela saibu, keezha naidu"?
Or to be precise, what do naidu and saibu stand for here? I know these denote the Nayudu caste and Muslims in general, but in this context, do they refer to specific ragas?

my deduction:
The lower four notes S R G M of Bhavapriya are the same as that of Miya ki Todi (Shubhapantuvarali). Miya = Saibu.
The higher notes P D N S of Bhavapriya are the same as that of Shanmukhapriya. Must have been associated strongly with Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu.

The next
