Ardhasamā) contains from 7 to 16 Mātrās and the other pair contains from 8 to 17 Mātrās in it respectively. The names of the 55 kinds in both are the same and begin with Campakakusuma. On the other hand, we get another set of 55 kinds when the first pair contains from 8 to 17 Mātrās and the second contains from 7 to 16. Their names begin with Sumanorama and are the same in the case of both the Antarasamā and the Ardhasamā Catuspadīs. The names and full illustrations of all the 110 varieties of the Antarasamā Catuspadīs are given by Hemacandra at Chandonuśāsana 6. 19-20. The next Sūtra (which, however, is not printed in bold type in the editions through oversight) states how the Antarasamās themselves become Ardhasamās, by an exchange of the 2nd and the 3rd Pādas among themselves.
11. It is rather striking that the Kavidarpana dismisses the old Apabhramsa metre Mātrā in a couple of stanzas giving only a single variety of it containing 15, 11, 15, 11 and 15 Mātrās in its five Pädas respectively It is true that the author calls it pracurabhedā 'having many divisions', but evidently does not consider the divisions to be important. We might well contrast this with his treatment of the other Apabhramsa metre Dohaka in vv. 15-17. It is also equally strange that our author's normal Mātrā does not agree with that of Hemacandra, the latter having one Mātrā more in each of the 5 Pādas. The four varieties of this Metre which are noted by Virahānka at VJS., 4.29-30 are still different. Virahāņka actually defines the middle or the odd Padas (1st, 3rd, and 5th) of the four varieties and says that they contain 13, 14, 15 and 16 Mātrās respectively. It is his commentator who fills up the gap with the help of other treatises on the subject and from Virahānka's own defining stanzas, which also contain the illustrations. According to him the even Pädas (2nd and 4th) of the four varieties respectively contain 11, 12, 13 and 14 Mātrās in them. None of these four varieties agrees either with that of the Kavidarpana or those of Hemacandra. But a look at them all only shows that the odd Pädas of this metre must be longer than the even ones (by 2 Mātrās according to Virahāńka, and from 3 to 5 Mātrās according to Hemacandra and the author of the Kavidarpaņa).
12. A longer Dvipadī which shows a Yati first after the 8th, the 10th or the 12th Mātrā and then another Yati regularly after the next 8 Mātrāsthus dividing the Pāda into three parts—in both the halves, has undoubtedly developed into a Satpadī in course of time. This is particularly so when a word is completed at the places of the Yati and the process was further
