Sandhi VIII res
The name of the metre is mentioned before every kadavaka-beginning stanza of this Sandhi in all mss. The metre is the well-known ap. metre It is defined in Chn. 6. 20. as a चतुष्पदी : समे द्वादश ओजे चतुर्दश दोहकः ।
The scheme 14+ 12 theoretically is by taking the last 4 of every long. Ordinarily it is defined as 13 +11, the last syllable to be taken as short, if it is short. Generally the ending syllable of each of the 4 qs is short. There is only one illustration 10 a and 10 c where the ending is long viz. far and and they have 14 moras satisfying actually the theoretical requirement of Chn. At all other places the ending-syllables of the gs are short and Is are 13+11.
The following points may be noted: 4 a पहिए; 4 b पुण्णे; 9 a णिसिसमऍ; 12 c णाएँ; 13 c सण झेवि ज्झे does not make the preceding syllable long. It is to be taken short; 15 a 5; 15 b. ff; here og makes for long; elsewhere it remains short as it is with one-mora value. 17;

Sandhi XI धारणाल
This metre is of षट्पदी type पुष्पदंत's महापुराणु Sandhi XVI has आरणाल as a kadavaka-beginning piece which is of the same gq type with the same moraic scheme as is here.
The scheme :
a b
12810 = 30 moras d e f
12810 = 30 moras.
a rhymes with b; d rhymes with e and c rhymes with f. The last syllables of all as i.e. a to f are long.
The अरनाल is mentioned by Hemacandra Chn. 4. 66 गन्तारनालम् । Com. सा द्विपदी gaga yai.e. the scheme 6 + 5 x 4 = 20 +2 +230 moras. But it is not of at type as is in our text and g; nor does it mention any caesura after 12 or 8 S. With a difference of 1 in the last pada, the आरनाल of our text resembles the घत्ता of कविदर्पण 2.30 : Scheme : 12 + 8 + 11. The has usually the last two syllables as (a)-1 (b)~-1(c), (d)-1 (e)-1 (f) --, as revealed by the examination of all the art stanzas of our text. The of Chn. has also (c) and (e). The following points may be noted. 5a, 8 b, 11 b read the final syllables for of the text. 7b fa; 7 b fafe but has 3 moras more. Otherwise our text has the correct. The errors seem to be scribe's errors.
