Svayambhu's Apabhramśa epic Paumacariya (end of the ninth century) तेण तेण तेण चित्तें occurs as a ध्रुवपद with each Pāda of the Apabhraíśa metre Jambhettiã (Sandhi 81, Kadavaka 1). This is similar to aan etc. we find in the lines of the Jhambadaka song discussed here. I think these are instances of what is called all tilfa in musicological texts like the cast, and that mode of performance continues till today under the name of Tarut in the North Indian musical tradition. (See, Bhayani, Indological Studies 1, 1993, p. 9599).
