90 PAUMACARIU and the Ghattās of the same Sandhi are composed in the same 7 + 7 + 13. Now normally the commencing stanza of a Sandhi metre and if we examine these in the case of the 3. Sandhi, we find the same thing. Still according to SC. we have to understand that the metre of the opening stanza of the 3. Sandhi is Chandania V, while the metre of the Ghattā of the 3. Kadavaka (and hence possibly of all the Ghattās) of the same Sandhi is the fourth variety of the Şațpada-jāti. The reason for such difference in nomen- clatures is not clear. Actually the 1., 2., 4. and 5. Pādas in the Ghattās of the 3. Sandhi contain 6 moras. But from the treatment of the Ap. pro- sody by Svayambhū and others, we gather that in the case of the Dvipadís, Catuspadis and Şațpadis, the shortest Pāda cannot con- tain less than 7 moras. Hence we have to take the short end syllables of all the Pādas of the Ghattās in the 3. Sandhi as long. All the Pädas actually end in 1' V. The form 1-1 is not found for the first four moras of the six-moraic Pādas. The 3. and the 6. Pādas have the scheme 6 + 4 + 1l Jagana is not used in the four-moraic Gana. The 1. Gana does not show preference for any particular form. This Şațpadi occurs also in the Ghattās of MP. 5., 32., Jas. 2. (16). Scheme. 8 + 8 + 14 (theoretically 9 + 9 + 15). Occurrence. 14. Sandhi. SC. V 9 cites in a somewhat corrupt form the Ghattā of the 7, Kadavaka of this Sandhi as an illustration of the sixth variety of the Şațpada Avajāti, having the scheme 9 + 9 + 15. The Ava- jātis are required by definition' to contain nine moras in their 1.- 2., 4. and 5. Pādas. Hence in the present Ghattâs the short end syl- lables are to be regarded as long. But in the case of 14 2 c, d, e, f this arrangement does not work, since all these Pādas end in a long and have 14, 8, 8 and 14 moras respectively. Here we have to suppose that either their final long -ī's have resulted from original -iya's through modernization of the text or that in this one Ghattā an allied metre--5th variety of Şațpada Avajāti is employed. The 8-moraic Pādas are divisible as 4 + 4 except in 6 9b which has the form -- ! - U 1:19. Jagana is not used in these four- moraic Gaņas. The form of the second Gana is - (or i ter. The 14- moraic Pādas have the scheme 4 + 4 + 4 + 1r. Only the 2. Gaņa can be Jagana. The 3. Gaņa prefers the form vl. Irregularities. 7 9 d one mora too many. Emen- dation. SC. V 9 reads vegge for veggeņa (P.S.) or vegeņa (A) If vegge is adopted the metre is rectified. (17)., (18).

Svayambhu and Hemacandra while describing the Şațpadi Ghattā treat only their three types, viz. Jāti, Upajāti and Avajāti with the respective schemes 7 + 7 + 10 to 17, 8 + 8 + 10 to 17 and 9 + 9 + 10 to 17.
