**479** The ten jātis are: Āndhrī, Madhyamodīcyā, Karmāravī, Nandīnī, and Kaiśikī. The music that was composed with these eight or ten jātis, along with the thirteen ornaments mentioned here and those to be mentioned later, was excellent. ||14-15||
The four ornaments of the sthāyī pada are: Prasannādi, Prasannānta, Madhyaprasāda, and Prasannādyavasāna. ||16||
The six ornaments of the saṃcārī pada are: Nirvṛtta, Prasthita, Bindu, Preṅkholita, Tāro-mandra, and Prasanna. ||17||
The ārohī pada has only one ornament, Prasannādi, while the avarohī pada has two ornaments, Prasannānta and Kuḥara. Thus, there are thirteen ornaments in total. She knew this excellent music well, along with all its characteristics. ||18-19||
The four types of instruments are: *tata* produced from the *tantri* (veena), *avanaddha* produced from the *mṛdaṅga*, *śuṣira* produced from the *vaṃśa* (flute), and *ghana* produced from the *tāla*. All these instruments have various variations. Just as she knew all this, so too was there hardly anyone else who could match her knowledge. ||20-21||
The combination of song, dance, and instruments is called *nāṭya*. The nine rasas are: Śṛṅgāra, Hāsya, Karuṇā, Vīra, Adbhuta, Bhayānaka, Raudra, Bībhatsa, and Śānta. She, the young girl Kekayā, knew them all with their various sub-categories and in their highest form. ||22-23||
The script that is commonly used in one's own country is called *anuvṛtta*. The script that people imagine according to their own symbols is called *vikṛta*. The script that is used for writing about the *pratyanga* and other categories is called *sāmayika*. The script that is created by using flowers and other objects in place of letters is called *naimittika*. This script has many variations depending on the region, such as Prācya, Madhyama, Yaudheya, Samādra, etc. Kekayā knew all of them well. ||24-26||
There is an art called *uktikauśala* which has many variations depending on the *sthāna* (location) and other factors. The jātis are: *sthāna*, *svara*, *saṃskāra*, *vinyāsa*, *kāku*, *samudāya*, *virāma*, *sāmānyābhihita*, *samānārthatva*, and *bhāṣā*. ||27-28||
The *sthāna* (location) is of three types: *uraḥ* (chest), *kaṇṭha* (throat), and *śiraḥ* (head). The *svara* (tone) is the same as before, starting with *ṣaḍja* and having seven variations. ||29||
