(VI. 19The composition of lines as in No. 13; but Mātrās 9 and 12 must be represented by short letters. As. 33; Bh. 16. 146; H. 3. 69; Jd. 4. 27; Jk. 5. 59; Jns. 5. 18; Kd. 2. 20; P. 4. 43; Rm. 3. 14; SbP. 5. 3; Vr. 2. 34. A stanza of this metre consists of lines of any of the metres mentioned in Nos. 13-17. H. 3. 70; Jd. 4. 29; Jk. 5. 31; Jns. 5. 22; Kd. 2. 20; P. 4. 47; Rm. 3. 16: SbP. 5. 1; Vr. 2. 37. A line contains one Caturmātra of any kind, followed by four long letters. The Yati is after the 8th Mātrā. H. 3. 71; Rm. 3. 24-27. A line contains two Caturmātras, two long letters, one Caturmātra and two long letters, occurring in succession. The Caturmātras may be of any kind. H. 3. 72; Rm. 3. 20-23. Each of the lines contains 16 short letters only. This is called sterf by Pingala. This is generally regarded as & Mātrā Vrtta and mentioned at the beginning of the Mātrāsamaka group. From another point of view it is a Varņavrtta and for references, cf. I. 16. 8. In each of its four lines, we have 4 Caturmātras; those in the odd places must not be Jagaņas, while the last one must be a Jagaņa or a Sarvalaghu. This is really the favourite metre of the Apabhramśa poets; but now and then Jain poets composed Sanskrit stanzas in this metre as H. 3. 73 suggests. Each line has 6 Mātrās followed by 5 Caturmātras with a long letter at the end. A Jagaņa or a Sarvalaghu must be used for the 2nd and the 6th places, i. e., for the 1st and the 5th Caturmātras. A Jagaņa must not be used anywhere else. When a Sarvalaghu is used as said above, the Yati must occur after the first short letter, i, e., a new word must begin with the 2nd short letter. Jk, 6. 28 regards this and the next two as Sanskrit metres, but H. 4. 64-67 considers these as Prākrit metres, A line of this metre is obtained by adding a long letter at the end of a line of a Dvipadī. Jk, 6. 29. This is called 315 by H. 4. 66. See on 23 above.
