End Notes

1 The Dvipàda section is omitted in Vuttodaya. Note that the metres in this section are varieties of the âryà group of metres.

2 The descriptions of øikhà and Khaÿjà, which follows, occur in the ArdhasamavÔtta section in Chøà, and agrees with the description given here.

A second metre called øikhà occurs as a variety of Gãtyàryà, there it is said to have 32 màtrà in both lines, and as having one pàda all light syllables, and one pàda all heavy. If the 1^st pàda is made up of light syllables, the name Jyotã is used; if the 1^st pàda is all heavy syllables, then the name Saumyà.

The metre as described here, has a Gãti line in prior position, and an âryàgãti line in the posterior position.

3 P fn: -yugulakam- .

4 P fn: -niciti.

5P: -èakalayugalalaghulalita- (incorrect metrically), with fn: -kalita- [in place of -lalita-]; P also has fn: -gaõa- [in place of -guõa-]; S: -èakalayugalakalitapada- (which is incorrect metrically), with fn: -laghulalitapada- .

6 This verse has a Gãti structure. SED says that Khaÿjà is the name of several metres: `one consisting of 2 x 28 syllables + 1 long and 30 short syllables + 1 long; another containing 30 short syllables + 1 long and 28 short syllables + 1 long; another containing 2 x 36 short syllables + one Amphimacer [i.e. a ragaõà]'. The second description fits the metre found here.

7 Chøà calls this metre: Saumyà, and says it is a species of øikhà. It has the structure of an âryàgãti verse.

8 Chøà calls this metre: Cålikà. The verse has an Upagãti structure.

9 P fn: -iharucirà. P reads: dalayugalakÔta-, which gives one syllable too many. V reads the same as P in the text, but dalayugakÔta-, as here in the Vyàkhyà, which must be correct to fit the description.

10 P, V, Dh omit.

11 P omits; Dh: iti èrã kedàrabhaññaviracite vÔttaratnàkare dvitãyo 'dhyàyaþ.
