[2. Gāndhārodīcyavā]
In gāndhārodīcyavā, ṣadjaand madhyama are the two amśas. The hexatonic
is known to be with the omission of rşabha. In the state of completeness there
is the sparseness of svaras other than those that are anisas.
(4)
In the hexatonic form, niṣāda, dhaivata, pañcama and gāndhāra are said to
be sparse. Saigati (concert) between ṛṣabha and dhaivata should be known
and the mūrchanā beginning with dhaivata obtains.
(5)
The tāla should be known as caccatpuța. Sixteen kalās (time units) are said
to obtain. Its application (viniyoga) is accepted to be in the singing of dhruvā
in the fourth act.
(6)
Madhyamais the nyāsain this (jāti). Ṣaḍja and dhaivata are apanyāsas. The
prastāra is thus -
