NIYAMA 41 सटीको वृत्तजातिसमुच्चयः
135 V. 83: Antullaka and the Kumudini Galitā (v. 98 below) have the same
number of Caturmātras in their Pādas, namely 5, followed by a long letter. But in the former, the 2nd Caturmätra must be a Narendra Caturmātra (ISI), while in the latter, it is the 4th Caturmātra which is required to be a Narendra. All the other Caturmātras may be of any
kind. V. 84: Candroddyota is an Ardhasama Catuspadi; its uneven Pädas con
tain 3 Caturmātras of any kind, while the even ones have a long letter at the end in addition to them. Virahānka mentions two four-lined Dvipadis, namely Bhāmini (III. 51) and svetā (III. 54), which
resemble this one, but differ in respect of constitution. V.85: Rasa is a Sama Catuspadi having 3 Caturmātras followed by 2 long
letters at the end, in each Päda. See above on vv. 37-38. Vv. 86-88: These Stanzas give the technical names given to groups of
2, 3, 4 and 5 stanzas; they are respectively Sandānitaka, Višeşaka, Cakkalaka and Kulaka. Groups of stanzas from 6 to 14 are called
Kulaka, though each has a specific name which is given in v. 87. Vv. 89-105: These stanzas define 14 different Galitās, 9 of which are Sama
Catuspadis, 3 are Dvipadīs (of two lines) and 2 are Ardhasama Catuspadis. The 3 Dvipadīs are Viśālā, Vicchitti and Prasștā (vv. 90-92); the 2 Ardhasama Catuspadis are Mukhagalitā (vv. 100-1), and Vişamagalitā (v. 104). The rest are Sama Catușpadīs. It is difficult to say why these are called Galitā. Hemacandra defines several Galitakas at IV. 17-40, all of which except one are Sama Catuspadis. The commentator of Kavidarpaņa, II. 23 explains the term galitaka as follows:-iha hi gathādandakadivarjam sarvacchandāmsi yamakitanhrīni samanyena galitakāni. 'Here all metres except such ones as Gāthā and Dandaka are called by the general name Galitaka when they have their Pādas rhymed.' Has the word any connection with the word nigala 'a chain' (where 2 Pādas are chained together by the
Yamaka; cf. the word yamaka itself) ? V. 89: Sampiņditā Galita is the same as Ramaniyaka (v. 26) as well as
the four-lined Somya Dvipadi (III. 27). All are possessed of the Antya
Yamaka, separate for each half. V.90: Visalā is a Galitā of 2 lines containing 11 Caturmātras (of which
those at the even Amśas must be either Narendra or Vipra), preceded by a single Dvimātra at the commencement. Thus each line or Pada has 46 Mātrās.
