छन्दोऽनुशासनम् । "I regard you fortunate, whose deeds are highly valued in the pretty songs which are dear to learned men and which are based on wonderful ( topics pertaining to ) Dharma, Artha and Kāma'. 42.-1.
Sometimes, even the third and also the fifth ( Gana is so). 43.
Sometimes, in an alternative employment, even the third and also the fifth Gaņa in both the halves are either yakāra (IIS) or ikāra (SIS). By the word api (it is suggested that this happens even in one half (only). Efforts should be made for (finding out) such an employment.
When the half is made whole it is called Āryāgiti. Ako
That same Gīti is called Aryāgīti when its half (Gaņa i. e., the 8th ) is made whole. As:
This is that pair of arms, whose armlets have been rubbed against the walls of the Mandara mountain, whose armour is torn by the fierce arrows and whose shield is tinged with the redness of blood'. 44. 1.
Here ends the section on Aryā.
The Jāti called Aryā together with its sub-divisions is defined. : Now hereafter, some other Jātis which are in vogue among the people shall be defined.
(That metre is called ) Galita when there are five and a half. (Ganas ) in every Põda. 45.
If there are five full Gaņas and a half of it more, the metre is called Galita. As
Do you not remember the flashes (bhāsuratā) of the arrows discharged by you, when they devoured the lives of fierce lions and Sarabhas in the forest ... ... ?
(If there are ) four (Ganas in each Pāda ) it is Nirdhāyikā. 46. If there are four Gaņas in each Päda it is called Nirdhāyikā. Its last ( Gana ) is either y or i. 47.
The last Gaņa of all the four Pādas of Nirdhāyikā is either yakāra (IIS) or ikāra (ISI).
k is the third. 48.
The third Gaņa in every Pāda of that Nirdhāyikā is generally a kakāra (ISI). As:
The wicked Manmatha (God of Love) of fearful intentions strikes all people with sharp arrows at their vitals, even though he was angrily burnt to ashes by the wearer of the young crescent moon, oh young girl.'
