सवृत्तिकः कविदर्पणः
[ BRIEF NOTES at the end of all, in each half or Pāda, which thus has a total of 27 Mātrās in it. The Yati is after the 15th Mātrā in each half. The mention of 2 Dvimātras instead of 1 Caturmātra in the definition is to prohibit the use of a Jagana or the Madhyaguru Caturmātra, as the commentator explains. In actual practice, the last three Mātrās at the end of the first of the two parts of a Pāda, caused by the presence of the Yati at the 15th Mātrā, are represented by short letters, though in theory we may have a long letter for the 14th and the 15th Mātrās; while the second part consists of 1 Dvimātra, 1 Ca urmātra of any kind, 1 Caturmātra which must not be a Jagana and 2 short letters at the end. This Dvipadi is comparable with the Upagīti in respect of the number of the Mātrās in each Pāda; but the Yati in the Upagiti comes after the 12th Mātrā, while here it is after the 15th ; and besides the constitution of the last 15 Mātrās in the Pāda materially differs in the two metres. The second Ullala called Karpūra is but an extension of the Kumkuma by a single Mātrā or a short letter, at the end of each Pāda ; so that both the parts of the Pāda, caused by the presence of the Yati, end in three short letters in actual practice, as said above. The third Dvipadi is the Mauktikadāman which has 32 Mātrās in each of its 2 Pādas. The Yati is after the 12th and then again after the 8th Mātrā, thus twice in each Päda. The 32 Mātrās are made up of 8 Caturmātras of any kind, which means that the only restriction that is to be observed about the use of short or long letters is that no long letter is to be employed at the junction of any 2 Caturmātras and thus the Mātrā Gaņas are to be kept separate. This Dvipadi is mentioned by Hemacandra, Chandonuśāsana, 7.19; Rājasekhara, Chandahấekhara, 5.188 and Svayambhuchandas 6.144. The rhyme at the end of the Pädas is of course to be understood as in the case of other Apabhramśa metres, as pointed out by the commentator. The 25 varieties of the Karpura are given separate names by some writers whom Hemacandra quotes in his Chandonuśāsana, 7.3 and our commentator probably reproduces the passage from Hemacandra. He also remarks at the end of his comments on v. 3.3 that there are 64 kinds of a Dvipadi; but that they are not discussed for fear of increasing the extent of the work. Here, too, he has obviously followed the lead of Hemacandra's Chandonuśāsana, which defines all of them in Ch. 8 and concludes evaṁ dvipadidhruvā catuh sastih.
As regards the Yati, Prakrit prosodists reeognize it only in the case of the Dvipadās; and here, too, the tendency is to break the line
