§ 18. 16. EM ( at ) or Eq3 (677). Occurrence: 137, 148, 183, 191, 199.
Normally, this strophe is made up of #l4l+FT. Out of these two the fact has been described under $9.
Due to the uncertainty of the text there is some difficulty in making out the metre of the first fiour lines of the st. 157. 137a and c containing 21 morae are clearly raries with the caesura after the 11. mora, 137d is also the same, with the caesura after the 12. mora. The remaining are 1370 containing 23 morae can be emended into a रासापाद by dropping दहइ (cf. व्याख्या on 1376: 7 Togra ceza a) and adding # (=z) after, say, STRATHEE, though the opening still appears dissatisfactory from a metrical view.point. Thus the first four lines seem to make up a regular tre stanza. The same is the case with 191. c and d, both cantaining 21 morae, with a pause after the 15. Now the KD., in the section dealing with the poets or six-lined metres, defines and illustrates (see KD. II 33; com. st.s 49 and 51 ) several strophes made up of वस्तुवदन (= our काव्य or वस्तुक) or रासावलय (a metre closely allied to our ) or their mixture on one hand and कर्पूर (= our उल्लाल) or कुङ्कुम (= उल्लाल less by a mora) on the other and षट्पद, सार्धच्छंद or काव्य are the general designations for all such strophes. In the light of this we can say that any is in our text a general designation of the six-lined strophes with any one of the following three types of combinations: Ft +Jan ( 148, 183, 199), Tal+Jalas (137), Floqlarauf + JETES (191). For the Ta see $ 5.

But both the parts of our stanzas end invariably in three shorts. According to the Ch., in the 1., 3. and 6. 7, the amphibrachys is forbidden and the 6-moraic out oonsists of two
