the third and the second is equal to the fourth. (3) 11-the first 92 equal to the second and third equal to the fourth. (4) font-mixture of the above varieties.
There are 14 Sandhis of our work; and naturally there are 14 types of gals or qats. They are as under :
(1) ayat-Sandhis : 1, 3, 8. (2) 59894- Sandhis : 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. There are no द्विपदी ध्रुवकs.
I 959es:
Sandbi I. Şațpadis usually rhyme a with b; c with f and d with e.

Със The Scheme : 10 + 8 + 13 line (1)
10 + 8 + 13 line (2) According to Chn. the c and f would be considered to be possessing 14 moras Chn. 1. 6. ar a: 1; and the remark in the commentary : yang विवक्षावशाद् गुरुत्वं लघुत्वं च ।, makes all the more difficult to have strict moraic length or shortness. The moras-quantity of the Dhruvā is thus to be adjusted to the standard of the metrical quantity already known, in the last syllable of a Pāda. Again Chn. 1. 10 valat art and seat ari and Hc. 8.4.410; Hc. 8.4.411 viz. af teatata 1999 1; y 3-g-fe-- Tutunga i produce moraic instability in Ap. metrical quantity. All these factors are to be taken note of. Chn. in giving the definition-formula of the metre takes the last syllable to be long and so gives the metrical length.
Praksta Piñgala (PP.): 1. 100 defines this qar as 10+8+13=31. It does not prescribe 44 at the caesura at the end of 10 and 8 moras i.e. a and b or d and e or also at c and f. In this respect, it resembles the og fort of Chn. 7.17 10 + 8 + 13 or 12 because the last syllable may be taken long. The illustration of PP. however, has 977 while the illustration of Chn. has no yamaka. The definitions in both the works do not prescribe yamaka. gyfaat is equated to it or ध्रुवक in Chn. 6.3. कडवकान्ते प्रारब्धोपसंहारे आये छडुणिका च | and this छड्डणिका according to the commentary : 45927agna ugfarge
The gets of I, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 are of 10 + 8 + 12. The last syllable can be taken long and therefore the last short syllable can yield 2 moras and thus their scheme can be modified to 10 + 8 + 13.
Sandhi III. has ध्रुवा and धत्ता in षट्पदी
