| BRIEF NOTES SIS, SS, (2) IIIIIIIIS; (3 and 4) 5, SIS respectively. V. 70: The meaning of the Gāthā is not very clear; it aims at defining
another Catuspada, which is a strophic metre. It seems to consist of a Catuşpada, an Avalambaka and/or an Ekaka. Its name appears to
be Ekkaka. The commentary is not helpful. V. 73-75 : Khadahadaka is another strophic metre made up of a stanza in
Bhramarāvali metre (v. 61) and a Gāthā. Like other sirsakas and strophic metres, even here the 2 stanzas are required to form a syntactical unit as the illustration shows. The illustration seems to be
the author's own composition. V.76: Khețaka is a virtual Varna Vștta; in its Sanskrit garb it is known
under 6 other names; see Jayadāman, p. 121, No. 20 (rajaga). Vy. 77-78 : Sopānaka is a strophic metre consisting of a stanza in a Varna
Vștta which has 5 Adiguru Caturmātras and a long letter at the end in each Pāda, followed by a Gāthā. This Varna Vștta is really the same as Aśvakrāntā (III. 32), also called Sangatā by Hemacandra, Chandonuśāsana II. 265 (Jayadāman p. 100). It is very likely that the name of Strophic Sangataka is here transferred to the constituent metre. Virahānka's Sangatā on the other hand, contains 7 Adiguru Caturmātras and a long letter at the end in each of its 4 Pādas; cf. III. 31
above. V. 79: A Śālabhañjikā has 20 Mātrās in a Pāda and is identical with the
4 lined Pathyā Dvipadi of III. 24 above. Hemacandra's Salabhanjikā
has 24 Mātrās in a Pada; see Chandonuśāsana IV. 54. V. 80: If a Gāthā is added at the beginning of a Trikalaka (vv. 43-45) the
quartet is called a Tala; if it is added both at the beginning and at the end, i.e., after the Gīti of the Trikalaka, it is called Tālavặnta. It has
thus 5 constituent stanzas. V. 81: Udgitaka is a Sama Catuspadi so far as the number of the Mātrās
is concerned; they are 21 in each Pāda, but the constitution is different for the odd and the even lines. The former have 4 Caturmātras of any kind followed by a Madhyalaghu Pañcamātra (SIS), while the even Pādas have a Caturmātra of any kind, 2 Pañcamātras of any kind, one Pāni or the Antaguru Caturmātra, followed by a Dhvaja
Trimātra at the end. V. 82: This Manoramā is the same as the Vijayā Dvipadi of 4 lines at III.
18 above. It has 3 Caturmätras, 1 Narendra and 1 Dhvaja, in each of its four Pādas.
