सटीको वृत्तजातिसमुच्चयः [BRIEF NOTES with Virahānka and admit 29 varieties of the metre though the names of these given by them totally differ from each other. Nor do the names given in the Prāksta Paingala agree with any given by the
three authors. V. 15: A Pāda of the Vilāsini must contain any 2 of the Pañcamātras
which have a long letter at their end (cf. I. 27) followed by a Pārthiva Caturmātra (ISI) and a long letter at the end. Thus it contains 16 Mātrās and 3 or 4 long letters in it. The composition of this metre according to Hemacandra, Chandonuśāsana IV. 52 is slightly different; its Pāda must contain 2 Trimātras, 1 Caturmätra and 2
Trimātras at the end. V. 16: Nirvāpitā is the name which is invariably given to this metre
by our commentator under I. 4, IV. 16 and IV. 44; but the text reads Niddhāiä (Sk. Nirdhyāyikā) at the first two places (at the 3rd the name does not occur in the text) and Nivvāiä at I. 26 and I. 30. Hemacandra, Chandonuśasana IV. 68 calls it Nirdhyāyikā and gives 3 different kinds of it according as it contains 14, 17 or 19 Mātrās in each Päda. Virahānka's Nirdhyāyikā agrees with the middle one of these. But the constitution of the two differs: Ours has 3 Caturmätras (the 3rd being a Narendra) and 1 Pañcamātra at the end; while that of Hemacandra has 2 Caturmātras followed by 3 Trimătras
in each Päda. V. 21: Hemacandra's Kridanaka (Chandonusāsana IV. 61) agrees with
that of Virahānka; but the latter restricts the Pañcamātra at the 4th Amśa to a Vihagādhipati (SIS) or a Vişadhara (IIIS) and does
not mention the Yati at the 8th Mātrā which the former mentions. V. 22: This Tarangaka of Virahānka is a virtual Varna Vrtta identical
with the Dodhaka with an additional Bhagana at the commencement. Hemacandra's Tarangaka (IV. 66) is a Mātrā Vrtta with 21 Mātrās in
each Päda. V. 24: Adhikākṣarā (4X5,5) of Virahāñka is almost the same as that of
Hemacandra Chandonuśāsana IV. 69, but according to the former the 3rd Caturmätra must be either a Narendra (ISI) or a Dvija (IIII) and the Yati must be after the 12th Mātrā. This is the only place where Virahānka mentions a Yati, after a particular Mātrā. See also
vv. 26, 27. V. 25: Narkutaka has 4, 5, 5, 4, SS. The two Pañcamātras must have each
a long letter at the end. The Visarga (in the Sanskrit word) at the
