122 (p. 191. 1. 24) The original borrows the treatment of Dhenu-sloka type of Bandha.Citra from Bhoja's S. K.. Several varieties of Dhenu-slokas are given and Viveka has worked out the details with mathematical accuracy. The proof of these calculations is also given in detail. (i) Sata.dhenu (p. 191, 1. 24): This is defined as a verse which gives rise to a hundred new verses with different metres, if the several yatis are combined in various ways irrespective of the order. In the ill.? which is quoted in extenso in Viveka (p. 195, 1. 3) there are seven breaks and if the different yatis were combined in various ways we get on the whole 127 combinations. 3 Out of these combinations 25 are meaningless." In six of them there is no krija (krija-hina); in two there is no karaka (karaka-hina); in one there is neither kriya por karaka; 12 are mere portions of padas and hence meaningless; 2 contain karaka yet as they have a portion of a pada (vocable) they are meaningless; in one there is neither kriya nor karaka bat contains a fragment of a word bence fails to convey any sense; and in ope combipation mere fragmept of a word is there which 1. The definition of Sata-dhenu is thus given by Bhoja : अतिविच्छेदिनी का लोकधेचरनुत्तमा / safari wa maad17 11 S. K. II. 117. 2 This verse is quoted by Hemacandra as an ill. of Pramodamohodaya metre in his Chandonusasana (p. 88). 3. If one yati at a time is taken there will be seven combinations, if two are taken there will be 21 combinations, 35 if three at a time are taken, 35 if four at a time are taken, and so on. Adding up we get (7+21+35+35+21+7+1 )= 127 total combinations, the order being immaterial. The combinations go on increasing in Geometrical progression thus : with the first yati 1 combination, 2 with the second, 4 with the third and so on upto E4 with the seventh yati, Adding up we get (P. 194, 1. 27) 1+2+4+8+16+ 32 +64 =127. The reading at P. 14, 1, 16 should be: 48/948/20/9846/348/ &e. At P. 194, 1. 27 it should be atatat: (and not atatu:), and at P, 194, 1, 28 it should be nuruna (and not 991 rat). 4. According to Ratne'svara 26 combinations are meaningless (vide Ratnesvara on S.K.II.117).
