The Alillahas are more numerous in our work. The principal places of their occurrence are: I Kad. 12 to 16; the whole of II; III 1 to 21; IV 9 to 12; V1 to 16 and 18 to 23 (i.e. end); the whole of VI; VII 1 to7 and 9 to 14 (i. e. end); VIII 1 to 6; VIII 14 to 20 (end); the whole of IX, X, XI, and XVIII; XIX 1 to 5; XXII 4 to 9 etc.
(a) But in a few places, instead of the usual scheme at the end of the Alillaha, viz -, there occurs either - -, or -, orv-. These are aberrations and are used possibly for the sake of variety. A few examples may be given:
(1) एकमास गड एण विणोएं। पुणु जिणमहिमाणंदविहोएं १,१६,४,---,(७) बंधुयत्तु कुलकित्तिविणासु । गउ वोहित्यई लेवि हयास ४,१,४-५, - -
(३) तं निसुणेवि भणईससिवयणी। मुकाहरण परम्मुहवयणी॥ ६.३.१ .--- (3) Duvai:-A Duvai or Doai, as it has been named in Pingala, is thus described? :
" Where there is an Indra (six mnātrās according to commentator) at the beginning, then two Dhanurdharas (four mātrās each), and a Madhukara (six mātrās) at the end, that is called Doai by the wise."
That only means that a Dovai should have twenty eight mâttâs to each foot, or fiftysix in all. Piigala does not say how the matras are arranged or where the Indra should end and Dhanurdharas begin. A commentator says that an Indra indicates six kalas (mātrās), the middle two of which are short.s That would give for the opening of the pada the scheme-~~-, or~~~ ~-etc. where the middle two matras are always short. This is rather vague as it is psssible to have more combinations of six matras having two shorts in the middle, and sometimes the shorts may not be quite in the middle. It is, however, possible from the Duvai of the definition and the Duvai-example itself, to infer that there is a big division in each pāda owing to the Yati, into 16+12, and that the first half of the pada corresponds exactly to a pada of the Alillaha in having two shorts near the end of the pada of 16 matras. Examples from our text will make it clear:
(1) तो मंगलसएहि घरु आयहो, ससयण कयपयत्तहो ।
चउकंध सिहरि वासहरु, पसाहिउ भविसत्तहो ॥१२,१२, १-२ (१)पाणिग्गहणि जाए जामायहो, अहियमणाणुराइणा ।
