VII [ Section on Pada - giti ]
O! most venerable muni! I have duly spoken of the alankaras. Now I shall
speak about giti1 which is associated with chandas2 and akṣara3 (syllable).
(170)
The first one should be known as māgadhī, and the second one is
ardhamāgadhī, the third one is sambhāvitā and the fourth one is known as
(171)
pṛthulā.
The giti which is 'returned to'4 (repeated) thrice, that giti is known as
māgadhī. That (gīti) which is completed5 in half the time (of māgadhī) should be
(172)
known as ardhamāgadhī (lit. half-māgadhī).
And sambhāvitā should be known to be composed of guru (lit. heavy, here
long) syllables. And the one called pṛthulā should be known to be composed of
(173)
laghu (lit. light, here short) syllables.
(Anu. <sup>104</sup>)
In dakṣiṇa 6 mārga 7 (lit. path) (operates) the pṛthulā gīti, in vārtika 8 mārga
sambhāvitā (gīti) and in citra 10 mārga māgadhī gīti. There are eight mātrās in
dakṣiṇa mārga, four mātrās in vārtika mārga and two mātrās in citra mārga in the
order of the use of kalās.<sup>11</sup>
In the citra mārga and ekakala tāla, māgadhī gīti should be known; in the
vārtika mārga (and) dvikala tāla sambhāvitā gīti should be known. (174)
