[3. Gaudī giti and its component ohāțī]
The svaras of gaudi are beautiful and are attractive with ohāṭī.6 Ohāṭiī is said to consist of a combination of the sound 'ha' and 'o'.
(277)
Ohāţī belongs to the low (register); (it is produced) by placing the chin on the chest.9 It is to be made fast and faster, being pressed with the shake 15 of svara.10
(278)
And ohāţī is also beautiful with seen and unseen actions; it comprises of actions <math>^{16}</math> in the three registers and is confounded (<math>\bar{a}kula^{17}</math>) with movements in the three registers.
(279)
Similarly, ohāţī has to be used by the knowledgeable ones in vocal music in a four-fold manner, viz. samākṣara (with even syllables), sama 18 (smooth), in ascent and in descent.5 Ohāṭī is obtained in performance as being born in the low (register) with shakes 19 of sound.
(280)
Gaudī gīti is said to subsist without rest in the three registers.
(281)
[4. Rāga giti]
Rāgagīti is said to be with attractive gamakas,20 with variegated low (prasanna)21 (svaras) pertaining to the chest-region, even, colourful or delightful arrangements of svaras.3
(282)
The rāgas (melodic configurations) are so called because the beautiful rāga (colourfulness or delightfulness) that comes about in all the four varņas is seen in them in its completeness.4
(283)
