सटीको वृत्तजातिसमुच्चयः contains 21 Mātrās in each of its four Pādas; see also Kavidarpana II.
23 and Chandaħkośa 17 for the same metre. Vv. 39-40 : The constituent metre of a Mālāśīrşaka may contain any
number of Caturmätras in each of its four Pädas, provided all of them contain the same number, followed by a single Pañcamātra at the end. It forms a Sirsaka when it is coupled with a Gitikā which follows it. In the illustration in v. 39 only 11 Caturmātras are employed. Among these Caturmātras the 3rd must be either a Narendra (ISI) or a Vipra (IIII), while the others may be of any type including the Narendra. The sentence must not be completed in the first stanza, but must run into the following Gītikā. Long compounds with pleasant sounds should be employed. As a matter of fact, the last two directions are
characteristic of all sirsakas. Vv. 41-42: Adhikākşara-Śīrşaka is made up of a stanza in the Adhi
kākṣarā metre (v. 24 above) followed by a Gītikā. Here too the
sentence must run into the Gitikā and must contain sweet sounds. Vv. 43-45 : Trikalaka is a triplet made up of a stanza in the Adhikākşarà
metre (v. 24), followed by another in the Nirvāpitā metre (v. 16) and lastly by a Gītikā. This is called either a Trikalaka (having 3 Kalās or parts) or a Nirväpitā-Širşaka (according to the commentator), or
another Mālāśīrşaka according to the remark at the end of v. 43. V. 46: Our author gives only a single variety of Dandaka whose Pādas
contain 6 short letters followed by a certain number of Pañcamātras of the Pakşinātha (SIS) type, which should be same in all the Pädas. In v. 46 a Pāda contains 10 such Pañcamātras. This is the Vyāla of the Sanskrit prosodists; see Jayadāman, p. 148, No. 28. But the Prākrit prosodists, Pingala and Ratnasekhara in particular, mention a Dandaka which is quite different; it is a Mātrā Vștta having 32 Mātrās in each of its 4 Pādas. See Prāksta Paingala I. 179; Chandahkośa v. 30. This is rather a Tāla Vịtta with the Tāla of 8 Mātrās
characterized by the internal Yamaka where possible. V. 47: Khanqodgatā is an Ardhasama Vștta; its odd Pädas contain 7
Mātrās made up of a Caturmātra of the Kara (IIS) or the Karņa (SS) type, followed by a Dhvaja Trimātra (IS), while the even Pädas contain any number of Caturmātras of any kind except the Madhyaguru which may be used only at the even Amśas, but 2 Pañcamātras of any kind must be employed between the 1st and the 2nd Caturmätras. The last Caturmātra (11th in the present stanza) is to be followed by a
