Examples in illustration thercof. 331}. There is constructed an equilateral quadrilateral structure consisting of 5 layers. The topmost layer is made up of 1 brick. O you who know the caloulation of mixed problems, tell me how many bricks there are (hero in all).
332. Thore is a structure built up of successive layers of bricks, which is in the form of the nanlyávarta. There are 4 layers built symmetrically with 60 (as the numerical measure of the top-brioks in single row). Tell me how many are all the bricks (here).
Rules regarding the six things to be known in the scienco of prosody :
3333-336. The number of syllables in a given syllabic inetre or chandas is causod to be marked in a soparate column) by zero and
332. The nandyavarta figure referred to in the stansa is
333-330. As each ayllable found in a lino forming a quarter of a stanza may be aliort or long, there arises a number of varieties corresponding to the different arrangements of long and short Ayllables. In arranging those varieties, a certain order is followed. The rules given here enable us to find out (1) the number of variotics possible in a metre consisting of a specified number of syllables, (2) the manner of arrangement of the syllables in these varieties, (3) the arrangement of the syllables in a variety specified by its ordinal position, (4) the ordinal position of a specified arrangement of syllablos, (6) the number of varieties containing & specified number of long or short syllables, and (8) the nmoont of vertical Apace required for exhibiting the varieties of a particular metre.
The rules will become clear from the following working of the problems given in stanza 337) :-. (1) l'hore are 3 ayllables in a metre; now, we proceed thus:
Now, multiplying by 8 the figures in the 3-1 1 2 % 0
right-hand chain, we obtnin 0. By the procons of 1-1 1
2 multipliontion and squaring, an explained in the note to stanza 94, Ch. II, we get 8; and this is the
number of varieties. (2) 'The manner of arrangement of the syllables in each variety is arrived at ttus lat variety : 1, being odd, donotes a long syllable; so the first syllablo is
long. Add 1 to this 1, and divide the num by 3; the quotient is old, and denotes another long syllable. Again, 1 in m od to this quotient 1, and divided by 2; the result,
2
