________________ METRE 65 being nothing but an extended दोहा — a 'crested' दोहा, it is naturally expected to abide by this restriction. But illustration has one चतुर्मात्र Vav, This appears to be a further development in the practice regarding the . Our stanzas do not take this freedom. Their Doha part is quite regular. 18. फुल्लय (फुल्लक) - § 15. Occurrence: 108. SR. 107 calls the next stanza 3. None of the metrical treatises to our hand know any metre of that name. Only Vлs. IV 63 treats a two-lined metre () with the scheme 4+4+4+4+4+--which, in spite of some difference in name appears to be identical with the metre of our stanza. VJs. 1V 27 defines a metre as 4+4+4+-+4+4+--. Though the -scheme is different from that of an ordinary, the structure of the stanza shows it to be a beyond any doubt. Following the tradition of treating the -ending syllable always long, we have here the measure of 14+12 instead of the usual 13+11, But the measures of theater and when rendered in accordance with the 'Bardic' tradition (which does not count the -ending syllable as necessarily long) would be 4+4+4+~+4+ 4+ -V and 4+4+4+4+4+. This can mean that an उत्फुल्लक line is just a दोहा line with one mora less in the prior पाद. Consequently an उत्फुल्लक is liable to be confused with a. दोहा. Precisely this appears to have been the result in the case of SR. 108. The constituted text of SR. 108 presents it as a regular with 13+11 morae per line. If we want to make out an from it, we must reduce each hemistich by a mora. Possibly by reading हिउ' for हियउ and दहवि or दहिवि for दहेवि this can be achieved. Of course, it is to be assumed that the names (SR.) and 4 (VJs.) relate to the same metre. But obviously, for the exact definition of this metre we shall have to wait for explicitly informative sources. (c) Metres with the Rhyme-type ab, de, cf. 14. डोमिलय. $ 16. Occurrence: 22-23, 95.
