[BRIEF NOTES
Dhvaja Trimātra (IS). This Khandodgatā itself is called Mukhagalitā when the even Pādas are formed like those of a Dandaka (v. 46), i.e., with 6 short letters followed by 5 or 7 or 9 or 11 (Caturmatra or Pañcamātra) Gaņas of the same type. See vv. 100-101 below. Hemacandra's Khandodgata (cf. Chandonuśāsana IV. 32) is a Sama Catuspadi with 34 Mātrās in a line. In stanza 47 the 4th line seems to be defective: perhaps read kaabiataia...gaaă etc.
Vv. 48-51
Vaitālīya is a bardic metre of the Ardhasama Catuṣpadi type. Its odd Pādas contain 3 Dvimātras followed by a Madhyalaghu Pañcamātra (SIS) and a Dhvaja (IS) at the end, while the even ones contain 2 Mātrās more at the commencement, but are otherwise identical with the odd ones. When a long letter is added at the end of each Pada of the Vaitaliya, it becomes Aupacchandasika. The Pādas of Apatalika are formed by 3 Dvimātras in the odd and 4 Dvimātras in the even Pādas, followed by an Adiguru (SII) Caturmatra and 2 long letters at the end. V. 51 gives a rule which equally applies to all these three metres. According to it, 6 short letters in succession must not be used in the even Pädas of any of them.
V. 52 Udgata has four Pādas of the same length, each having the same number of Caturmätras of any kind, but the 1st and the 2nd Caturmātras must have 2 Pañcamātras between them and all the Pādas must have a common rhyme. In v. 52 we have 5 Caturmätras in each Pāda. Among the Caturmātras Narendra (ISI) may be used only at the even Amsas. This same Udgata is called Samudgaka when it contains also the Samudgaka Yamaka at the end of its Pādas; see vv. 56 and 95 below. For a Varna Vṛtta called Udgata see Jayadaman, p. 153, No. 18.
V. 53 Koṭṭumbaka has in its Pādas a Carana (IIS) or a Karna (SS), followed by a Madhyalaghu Pañcamātra (SIS) and then again by 2 Caranas (IIS), a Payodhara (ISI) and a long letter in succession. It is a Sama Catuṣpadi.
Vv. 54-55 Chittaka and Bhittaka are really Varna Vṛttas; the former is known as Totaka, the latter as Dodhaka in Sanskrit.
V. 56: Samudgaka is the same as Udgata but with the addition of the Samudgaka Yamaka at the end of its Pādas; besides the last Caturmātra in each Pada should be of the Karna (SS) type. The Samudgaka Yamaka is defined as ardhävṛtti Yamaka, i.e., one in which half a line is repeated without the repetition of the sense (see Kavyaprakāśa,
