Basically, this is a practice of low-mid-high notes combination. You start ascending "Sa-Re-Ga-Ma" as far you can go higher on a high note, then you start "Pa-Dha-Ni-Sa" in Mid note.
Similarly, at the time of descending, you start Sa-Ni-Dha-Pa or as far you can descend in the lower note, then Ma-Ga-Re-Sa in Mid note.
You can do this combination between high and low not, without singing mid-note.
This practice will help you to move smoothly in any range of songs.
