INTRODUCTION 75 is to be known as Chaqdaņi. But the Ap. Mss. consistently follow the practice of calling the closing piece Ghattā, while the com- mencing stanza is not given any class name. Hence Svayambhu's account requires further support from other authorities, before it is accepted. Only Sandhis 3, 13, 17 and 19 have the Kadavaka commencing stanza'. It appears in the beginning of each Kadavaka of these Sandhis. In Puşpadanta's Mahāpunāna Jambhettia (IV), Racitā (V), Malayavilasitā (VI), Khandaka (VII), Avali (VIII), Dvipadi (X, XIV etc.), Helā (IX, LXXVII) Aranāla (XVI) and Malaya-mañjari (LXXVI) have been used for this purpose“. The Ap. texts or their Mss. have not got any uniform practice of mentioning the name of these metres. Usually Duvai, Jambhețția, Dohā and Helā or (Hela- duvai) are mentioned by name, the others are left unnamed. But we find little consistency in this matter. Thus only one Ms. of PC. prefixes the term Duvai to the Kadavaka-commencing stanzas of 3. Sandhi, other Mss. are silent about it. On the other hand MP. is in the habit of mentioning the name in every case. The value of the end syllable is discussed below under the description of the Ghattā. (1) The Kadavaka-commencing stanza of the 3. Sandhi (Gandhodakadhārā). Scheme No. of lines: 4. No. of moras per line: 13 (or 14; if the end syllable is scanned as long). Gana-scheme: 6 +4+3 (or 4). Rhyme-scheme: а with b, c with d. The six-moraic Gana has, except in four cases, two- moraic grouping. For its two middlemost moras the form 114 is preferred. The second Gaņa has the following forms: je (TUU 10 3 This means that Jagana is permitted. The last Gaņa is invariably constituted of three shorts. It will be seen that the structure of the Pādas of this metre is identical with that of the odd Pädas of the Duvahaya or Dohä metre. Technically this is Sarvasama Catuşpadi. If the final sylla- ble is given its natural value, the line is 13-moraic; if it is scanned as long, it becomes 14-moraic. Among the Saravasama group of the Catuşpadis, the Accharo- vilasia or Apsarovilasita" has 13 moras, the Gandhoaa- dhārā or Gandhodakadhārä' has 14. SC. VI 157 gives (1) In the rest of PC. Sandhis 25, 59, 85 (all Helāduvais), 40, 51, 66, 75 (all Duvais), 48, 81 (Jambhețția), 49, 77 (Gandhodakadhärä), 50 (Paranaka), 52, 53 (Aranala), 54 (Doha). 63 and 74 (Matrā+ Mañjarī) have got the com- mencing piece.
