[ BRIEF NOTES V.91 : Vicchitti is another Dvipadi of 2 Pādas, each of which contains 22
Mātrās made up of a single Dvimātra followed by 5 Caturmätras of any kind except the Narendra (ISI). The Yati at the 12th Mātrā is obvious and recommended by the Commentator though not mentioned in the text. In point of sound effect, the illustration resembles the common Arti metre, which is used for the Artikya ceremony in worship; e.g. sukhakartā dukhahartă etc. The Pādas of the Lambită Galitā (v. 96) are similarly formed, but Lambitā is a Catuşpadi and besides the Caturmātras in the 3rd and the 5th Amśas in it are always of the Narendra type. Hemacandra's Vicchitti is a Sama Catuspadi having
25 Mātrās in each Päda; cf. Chandonuśāsana IV, 35. V. 92: Prasștā is also a Dvipadi of 2 lines, each having 10 Mātrās at the
commencement followed by 5 Caturmātras, of which the 2nd and the 4th shall be Madhyaguru (ISI), and an Adilaghu Pañcamātra (ISS) at the end of all. Hemacandra's Prasștā (Chandonuśāsana IV. 33) is a
Catușpadi with 35 Mātrās in a Pāda. V.93: Lalitā as defined by Virahănka is of two kinds: Both are Catus
padis; but one contains only 22 Mātrās in a Pāda made up with 5 Caturmātras of any kind where, however, the Narendra is permitted only at the even Amśas. This is defined at v. 60 above and a special recommendation about the Antya Yamaka is made for it. The 2nd Lalitā which is defined here in v. 93 has 24 Mātrās in a Pāda made up of 2 Caturmātras of any kind followed by a Madhyalaghu Pañcamatra (SIS), a Caturmātra of any kind, another Madhyalaghu Pañcamatra (SIS) and a long letter, in succession. Hemacandra's Lalitā (Chandonuśāsana IV. 36) is very similar, but he does not restrict the nature of the Pañcamātra groups like Virahānka. Both employ the Antya Yamaka which is the common feature of the Galitās according to
Virahānka IV. 106. Also see above on vv. 89-105. V. 94: Vibhūşaņā is a Sama Catuspadi identical in composition with a
Varna Vștta called Pankti, where, however, the 1st long letter may be substituted by 2 short ones. Puşpadanta has used this metre in his Jasaharacariu. The commentator remarks that the Pādas in the first half alone may be rhymed as in the illustration. Thus, according to him the purpose of the direction in the 3rd line is to exclude the Yamaka in both halves as prescribed for Galitās in general at v. 106
below. V.95 : See above on vv. 52 and 56 for Udgatā and Sāmudgaka. V.96 : Lambitā is a Sama Catuspadi whose Päda must contain a Dvimātra
