mātra, i.e., a Jagaņa, a short letter and a long letter following it at the end. 2. Sumukha, which is used for v. 20, has 13 Mātrās in each Päda, the last 3 being made up by a short and a long letter in succession. The first 10 Mātrās are represented by 2 Pañcamātras of any kind, though Jinaprabha prescribes different Mātrā Ganas for the different Pädas for' no obvious reasons, mechanically scanning them as in many other cases. This metre entirely agrees with Hemacandra's Upakhanda and Sundarā Galitaka, at Chandonuśāsana 4.46 and 4.28, or with Virahānka's Jyotsnā and Haṁsini at Vịttajātisamuccaya 3.3 and 4.72. 3. Ratnamālā, which is used in v. 23, . has 32 Mātrās in each Pāda, distributed over 8 Caturmātras of which the last must consist of two long letters. The first 7 Caturmatras may be of any kind in theory; but actually Nandişeņa has employed a Bhagana32 or the Ādiguru all through in the last three Pādas and also for the Caturmätras in the uneven places in the first Pāda, while those in the even places of this Pāda are regularly represented by two long letters. The Latākusuma of KD. 4.93 and the Sangatā of VJS. 3.34 are similar to our Ratnamālā, which, however, has one long letter more at the end of each Pāda. 4. Lalitaka, which is used for v. 32, contains a Trimātra, followed by 4 Caturmātras and a long letter at the end, thus having 21 Mātrās in each Päda. This is almost identical with the Galitaka of the Kavidarpana 2.23, though the scheme of this latter is not applicable to our metre only in the third line, where the first 2 Pañcamātras which are required by the Galitaka, are not kept separate.33 5. The Vánavāsikā of v. 33 and 6. Aparantikā of v. 34 are well known metres; the first belongs to the Mātrāsamaka group and has the 9th and the 12th of its 16 Mātrās in each Pāda represented by a short letter. The second, i.e., the Aparāntikā, is a derivative of the Vaitāliya, but is a Sama Catuspadi, all. its Pādas being identical in form with the even Pādas of the Vaitālīya.34
32. The Ardhasama Matrā Vșttas which are employed by Nandişeņa
in all. The 1st of these is the Māgadhikā which is used for two
namely, the 4th and the 6th. Its definition is quoted by Jinaprabha from the Kavidarpaņa, 2.18. Our Magadhikā is exactly the same as the Vaitāliya in its constitution; but sometimes, 2 short letters are substituted for the long ones (which are compulsory for the Vaitāliya) in the
32. In the 3rd Pāda, however, the initial long letter of the 3rd Bhagana is replaced
by 2 long ones. 33. For the other Lalitaka, which is purposely turned into a Vişama Vstta, see
below para 33. 34. See KD. 2.20 and 5.7. Both these metres are generally defined among the
Sanskrit Mātrā Vfttas; see Jayadaman, p. 157, No. 7 and p. 158, No. 17.
