PAUMACARIO
in a long except once (10 96). The end is either two shorts or a long.
This Ghattā is also found in RC. 43.
Irregularities: 1 4 9d. Two moras too many. Perhaps sire is superfluous.
(10). Scheme. 13 + 15, Occurrence. &., 11., 19. (21., 50., 79.) Sandhis.
In 212 cases out of 232, the Pādas end in v. UU. which show a strong tendency to be preceded by a long, especially in the odd Padas. These are identical in structure with the odd Pādas of the Dohā. 1 a, c, 1 9c, 2 9c, 5.11 a, c in the 8. Sandhi (and 12 9 a b in the 21. Sandhi) have a trochaic end.
The even Pādas are identical in structure with a Pāranakapada (SC. VII 59, Raj., 170; Ch, VI 29) divisible as 4 + 4 + 4 + 3. The alternative scheme 6 + 4 + 5 is violated by 11 5 9d, 19 1 10d, 19 7 11 b, d, 19 8 10 b, d. Jagana is rare in the 1. and 3. Gana. The end is.--U, in 11 1 b, d, 11 1 96, d. RC. 24., 67. have this Ghattā. The Ghattās of MP. 49 have the scheme 13 - 15 but there the even Pādas are different. They end in --- U.
Irregularities: 11 4 9 d. One mora too few. Emendation. Read sayāim for sayaimn. 13 3 10 с. Two moras too many. jaya- in the opening appears to be redundant.
(11). Scheme. 13 + 16. Occurrence. 6. (28., 51., 57., 76., 86.) Sandhi.
6 15 9 b, d (28 2 9 b, d, 28 4 9 b, d, 28 8 9 b, d, 28 8 11 b,.d) end in a long and hence they cannot yield more than 16 moras 6 14 9 b, d (28 3 9 b, d, 28 9 11 b, d) have actually 15 moras and so even after counting the short end syllable as long, they cannot be made to contain more than 16 moras.
The odd Padas are built up like the odd Pādas of the Dohā and have the same structure as the 13-moraic Pāda in Nos. 9 and 10. The even Pādas have the scheme 6 + 4 + 4 + 2. Jagana is permitted in the 2. Gaña, eschewed in the 3. Gana which as a rule ends in a long. The last Gana is mostly TU. casually ---. Thus the Pādas are identical in structure with a Vadanaka-pāda (SC. IV 29; Rāj. 16; Ch. V 28) or a Samkulaka-páda (SC. VI 160', Räj. 172; Ch. V. 28 Com). The Ghattās of RC. 14., 19., 29., 32., 35., 39., 41., 48., 58., 79.; MP, 13., 17., 20., 22., 26., and of Nāy. 9. are composed in this metre.
In 6 4 9 b, d, 6 6 9 b, d, 6 14 9 b, d (28 3 9 b, d, 28 9 11 b, d), the end syllables should be regarded as long.
(12). Scheme. 14 + 13. Occurrence. 13. (44., 49., 56., 61., 67., 83., 84., 90.) Sandhis.
The odd Pädas have the same structure as the 14-moraic Pādas in No. 7, i.e., 14 moras, divisible at 4 + 4 + 4 + 2, Jagana permissible in the 2. Gana, but eschewed in the 1. and the 4., the last Gana having generally the form ut, which is mostly preceded by a long. The even Pādas have the structure of the odd Pādas of the Dohā. 1 10 b, d, 12 10 b, d end in - ( instead of the usual UUU. RC. 9., 15, 42., 47., 49., 69., 72., 84., 91 have this Ghattā.
If the measure is taken to be theoretically as 15 + 14 the metre would be Anangalalità (SC. VI 136; Rāj. 148; Ch. VI 20,
