All other authorities except the CK. (10, 32, 39) the GL. (78) and the on the SR. treat this metre under the name Generally it is defined as made up of four lines, each line having four S. No restriction is put as to the form of the Ts. Only CK. 10 says that all the four чs should be Ts. But this appears to be an overstatement, since in the CK. itself two-one forming a part of the strophe (CK. 32) and another in the allied strophe (CK. 39)-do not abide by that rule.

This means that the middlemost mora of every is invariably short, which fact results in giving an amphimacer rhythm to the metre. The defining or illustrating stanza in given by the Sc., GL. and KD. also bear out these results. Only the stanza in Ch. neither regularly ends in ---, nor can it be said to have an amphimacer rhythm. It is obvious that in this case the CK. presents one extreme, the Ch. the other. With this varying treament off at one place as a मात्रवृत्त, at another as a वर्णवृत्त, cf. a similar treatment of डुमिला (see 16).
