Sandhi IV
The name of this metre is mentioned before every kadavaka-beginning piece of this Sandhi. This metre is so used by Faiu in his qrafu and yoqda in his helgery. It is illustrated by Hemacandra in his Chn. 4.57 in the 259 cu as a four-lined stanza though fat and faqat illustrated by a four-lined stanza are mentioned as faqat in the commentary, and by that very nomenclature is so written in certain texts as हेलादुवइ. It is defined as : षश्चीयुग्जो लीर्वा हेला। (Chn. 4.57) Comment : WA: 042TEIRITT FREITA mat at af at
