(8) Kalahamsa is a metre of twenty-tour Mātrās, with a Caesura at 10. Unfortunately Pingala has not got it. Prof. Jacobi has found it in Hemadra's Chandonusasana."1 It occurs at IV 1, the first line being
पिक्खई मंदिराई उग्घाडियजालगवक्खई। (9) Gătha occurs at X 12, 9, 12. It is quite of the ordinary type.
(B) MĀTRĀVRTTAS IN GHATTĀ. Ghattā in our work is ageneral name for the strophe ending a Kadavaka. It corresponds to Dhruvā or Dhruvaka. Any metre can therefore be used in that position, besides the legitimate Ghattā of Pingala, which consiste of 62 Mātrās.
(10) Ghatta, legitimate, occurs at the end of several Kadavakas. It has thirty-one mātrās in each half, arranged like 10+8+13. Pingala says:9: "A Ghatta has sixty-two mātrās. There are seven Gaņas of four inātrās each in both the feet, with three laghu (uu) at the end of each." Thus this Ghattā is Dvipadi. The places of its occurrence are all the Kadavakas in Sandhis XII, XIII and XIV and the first one of XV. It also occurs in the Mangala verses of the same Sandhis.
(11) Ullāla has 15+13 twice. Pingala thus describes it.'3 "Have three Turangama (four mātrās) and three nātrās; in the same way six, four and three at the end. Thus can Ullāla be composed. The mātrās of the feet together are fiftysix." It occurs at the end of I 16, II 1 to 4, and 6 to 11 13 and 14; the whole of III; IV 1 to 6 and 8 to 10; etc.; as Mangala in II, III and IV.
(12) Abhisărikā°4 is also a Dvipadi having twenty-two syllables in each pāda divided as 9+13.35 This is the most common Ghattā in our work and comes oftener as a Margala-śloka. The principal places of its occurrence are 1 1 to 9 and 11 to 15, V 1 to 8, and 12 to 23 (i. e. end), VI 1 to 9, the whole of IX, X and XI, XV 2 to 17 (i. c. end), the whole of XIX, X, XXI and XXII; as Mangala in I, V, VI, IX, X, XI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI and XXII.
