11. See VJS. 2, 4-8. 12. Jānāśrayi, 5. 60-58. 13. Jānāśrayi, 5, 69-72. 14. For the text see Appendix. 15. For the text of the Carcari sce Appendix. 116. In this connection we may note that the metre of Vikramorvasiya
IV, 14 is also Chittaka. In the stage direction that precedes it, the associated Laya or the specific Tāla characterizing the rhythmic dance movement is termed Bhinnaka. VJS IV, 54 treats the Chittaka, and the metre treated next, with the form
- ux3+ --, is called Bhittaka, which may well stand
for bhinnaka. *17. For the text of the songs see Appendix. 18. Ch. 2, 256; Jayakirti's Chandonu śāsana, 2, 191. 19. The word Ghimdiņi (v. I. Ghinnaņa) occurs as the name of the
song that accompanies the Rāsa dance in the Old Gujarati poem śāntināthabolikā of Jineśvara-sūri (13th cent), written in Śrīmāla (Rajasthan): ता धिंदिणि देविणु, रानु रमेविणु, दीवी लिउ नच्चति ।
Prācina Gūrjara Kāyya Sañcaya, p. 115, stanza 3 a. 20. For the text of the song see Appendix. 21. See Ch. 5, 26; Samdeśarāsaka, Introduction pp. 53-55 and the
sources indicated there. 22. See Apabhramśakāyyatrayi, ed. by L. B. Gandhi, pp. 1--27. 23. The commentator of the Caccari has wrongly identified the
metre as Kunda. (Apabhramśakāvyatrayi, p. 2). According to Ch. 5, 6 the Gaņa-scheme of Kunda is 4 + 5 + 5+ - +--- and this is different from the Gaņa-scheme of the Rāsāvalaya (Ch. 5, 26), viz. 6+ 4+ 6 + 5 (the last three Mātrās to be
all short). 24 Caccariabamdhi viraiu sarasu, gāijjai Saintiu tārajasu,' Jambūsā
