Firstly, when there obtains a difference of names regarding any of the metres treated, Hemacandra records it, at times along with the name of the authority. In this manner at the end of the definition and illustration stanza of the Meghavisphūrjitā, we read: Rambheti Svayambhūh (Ch. 14 a, 1. 16). If we refer to SC. we find that it defines at I 102 under the name Rambha that very metre which is called Meghavisphūrjitā. Similarly after treating the Vasanta (na-na-ta-ta-ga-ga; Ch. II 224 ), Hemacandra remarks Nandimukhity eke. SC. 1 11-12 define and illustrate this metre under the designation Nandimuhi. Ch. II 288 deals with the Vamsapatrapatita (bha-ra-na-bha-na-la-ga) and at the end it is observed: Vamsadalam ity anye. SC. I 61-62 define and illustrate the metre Vamsaala and at the end there is a note: ko vi a Vamsavattalalian ti pabhanai, while in the next stanza (164) which is given to illustrate this, there occurs the world Vamsavattavaḍiam in the fourth line.
Secondly, at several places Hemacandra has borrowed, verbally or with modifications or in its Sk. garb metrical rules and definitions from SC. without quoting the source or at times even without giving any indication that the statement in question is not original.
Compare the following:

Lastly, Ch. borrows from SC. several illustrative stanzas also in their original, Sanskritized or modified form. SC. itself has got most of them from other sources;
