CHAPTER VI-NIXED PROBLENS.
183
"The possible number (of the varieties of stanzas in the given metre) is multiplied by two and (then) diminishod by ono. This rosult gives (the measure of what is onlled) zdhvan, (wheroin an interval oquivalent to a stanza is conocived to oxist hetwoon every two guccousive varieties in the metre).
Examples in illustration thereof. 337. lu relation to the metre made up of 3 syllables, tell me quickly the six things to be known viz., (1) the (maximum) number (of possible mtanzas in the metre). (2) the manner of arrangement (of the syllables in those wtanzan), (3) the arrangement of the syllables (in a given variety of the stunza, the ordinal position whereof among the possible varieties in the metre is known), (4) the ordinal position (of a given tunza), (6) the number (of stanzas in the given motro containing any given number) of short or long syllables, and (6) tho (quantity known as) adhran.
Thus ends the process of summation of crics in the chapter on mixod problems.
Thus ends the fifth subject of treatment, known as Mixed Problems, in Sarasangraha, which is a work on arithmetic by Mahaviracarya.
