[ BRIEF NOTES
for the Yagana in the even Pādas. If a Jagana is used for the 5th, the 6th and the 7th letters in the odd Pādas, and when the Yagana is retained in the even Pādas as in the ordinary Vaktra, it is called a Viparīta Pathyā Vaktra. If a Magaṇa is employed for them and if the 7th letter is short in the even Pādas, i.e., when it behaves like a Pathyā Vaktra in respect of its even Pādas, having a Jagana to represent its 5th, 6th and 7th letters (it must be remembered that no other Gaņas except ya and ja are possible here according to vv. 118-119), it is called a Ma-Vipulā Vaktra; similarly, if any of the other five Gaņas, namely, the bha, ra, sa, ta ana na, is employed for these letters in the odd Pädas, it is respectively called Bha-Vipulā, Ra-Vipulā, Sa-Vipulā, Ta-Vipulā and Na-Vipulā Vaktras. It will be seen that in the last six cases, namely, the Ma to Ta Vipulas, a new name, i.e., Vipulā, is adopted, which is common to them all, the earlier three names, viz., Pathyā, Viparīta Pathyā and Capalā, being inapplicable and reserved for certain varieties only. Hence a definition is newly coined for Vipulā in v. 120 cd. A Vipulā Vaktra is that in which the 7th letter of the even Pādas is short; but this definition is applicable even to the Pathyā Vaktra and so we must understand Vipulā to be a wider term and not coextensive with Pathyā. Vipulā is thus to be applied to all other cases of Vaktra which are not covered by Pathyā. In short, Pathyā is only a kind of Vipulāto be exact—a Ya-Vipulā, but it has been given a special name
Pathyā. See the remarks of the commentator on v. 120. V. 121: In the opinion of Saitava, a Vaktra becomes a Vipulā Vaktra
when the 7th letter is short in all the four Pādas. This particular variety is, however, included in the Ta, Na and Bha Vipulās, where the last letter of these Ganas (i.e., the 7th of the Pāda) is necessarily short. There is one more variety which is not covered by our author's scheme of Vipulās; it is the Ja-Vipulā, namely, the one in which the 5th, 6th and 7th letters in all the Pādas are represented by a Jagana, instead of by the usual Yagana. These six Vipulās, viz., those that have any one of the six Trikas out of the eight (excluding the Ya and the Ja Gaņas), are mentioned also by Hemacandra at Chandonuśäsana 3.39; but other writers like Pingala (5.19), Jayadeva (JD. 5.12-15), Jayakīrti (JK. 4.8-11), Kedara (VR. 2.27-30), Jānāśrayi 2.28, and Ratnamañjūsā 4.20 mention only four, excluding the Ma-Vipulā and Sa-Vipulā. These are, however, added by Halāyudha on Chandassūtra 5.19. The remarks of Svayambhūchandas 3.10 are very interesting : He says :-'Vipulā is of four kinds according to Saitava's view; (it)
