A word of explanation seems necessary for this spinning out of the five (6 +4 +4 +4 +3) s given by the into seven. The two implications of the principal of -division in general are that firstly the closing mora of a preceding and the opening mora of the following it cannot be replaced by a heavy syllable i. e. the separate individuality of each of the two morae is to be preserved (cf. AM § 19.) and secondly, the common patterns of the various constituent s when viewed in a lot are to be indicative of the general rhythm of the metre if any. In the case of the stanzas in the SR. the formal analysis shows that it conduces to precision and lucidity to split up the first and the third of the each into two and as this can be done without any detriment to the underlying principal, seven are set up. For precedences Ch. V 31 versus 32 (cf. HP. p. 189) and ALSDORF's treatment of the g (see § 11 below) can be pointed to.
