INTRODUCTION 85 Kadavakante prakrāntārthasya bhangyantareņābhidhane chad(d)a- ņiketi turya-nāmā'pi. The commentary also quotes the following from a work called Chandahkandalī: Sandhi-muhe Kadavante Dhuva ca Dhuvayam ca Ghattă vā/ så tiviha Chapai, Caupai ya Dupai ya tāsu puna dunni/ cha-cau-ppaiu kadavaya-nihane chaddaniya-nāmā'vi/! From the statements of these metrical authorities we gather that some definite distinction was made between the functions of Dvipa- dīs on one hand and Catușpadīs on the other. But what was the basis and scope of this distinction cannot be made out by us so ong as more informative sources do not come to light. 1) Antara sa mä Catuspadis The rhyme scheme in the Antarasamā is: b rhyming with d. (5). Scheme 9---13 (theoretically 10+14). Occurrence. 7. (42,. 54.) Sandhis. The odd Pādas are divisible as 4+4+1 or 6+3. In the former grouping, Jagana is avoided in the four-moraic Ganas. The second four-moraic Gaņa is frequently UV-. The end is trochaic except in 7 14 9a which ends in VI. The even Padas are divisible as 6+4+3. They are identical in construction with the odd Pādas of the Dohā. Jagaña is avoided in the 2. Gana. The last Gana is always iti. This Ghatta is found in RC. 7, 34, 44, 57, 76, 82, 87, 93 and in MP. 11, 48, 91. If the end syllables are counted as long, the scheme would be 10-14, which is the measure of Mahuravanda or Madhukaravšnda'. The odd Pādas in the illustration in SC. end in a trochee. 16). Scheme 10+13. Occurrence. 16. Sandhi. 4 9a, 6 Oc, 11 9a and 12 9a end in a long. Hence the odd Pädas cannot be made to contain more than 10 moras. Therefore the mea- sure is either 10--13 or 10+14. Now SC. VIII 10 defines Chaddania II with the scheme 10-13 and the illustrative stanza in the case of all its Pādas and the definition stanza in the case of its even Padas show that the end syllables are not to be regarded as long. Hence I think we are amply justified in taking the metre of the Ghattās of the 16. Sandhi to be the same as the Chaddania II. Otherwise with the scheme 11 +14 it would be Vanaphullandhua (SC.) or Navaphul- landhaya (Ch.) as defined and illustrated at SC. VI 101,102; Raj. 117; Ch. VÌ 19, 40, The odd Pädas are divisible as 4+4-1-2 or 6+4. This means that if the former scheme is adopted, the 2. Gana is never !" V. That form is avoided in the 1. Gana also. r!finds preference in the 1. Gana, and is the most pervalent form in the 2. Gana. The end is generally rr, rarely The even Pädas have the scheme 6+4-4.3 and are identical in con- struction with the odd Pādas the Doha. The end is always uit. (1) SC. VI 85, 86. The illustration is: sasi uggau tama, jeņa naha-angau(nahanganu)mandiau// nam rai-raha-cakka(u), disai Arune(m) chaddiau//; Raj. 103; Ch. V 34. (2) dasa-teraha-mattā, padhama-vidia-paa jamaa-vara/ Chaddania vidia punu-vi gana iya bhana avara// (3) jai nivvudi pāvia, dul(l)aha(u) lahēvi niappanau/ thiu kẽmini-vajjai(?) jc na karabim bia(u) appenau//
