TRANSLATION
[The opinion of Bharata]
"The first one should be known as māgadhī and the second one as
ardhamāgadhī, sambhāvitā is the third one and the fourth is known as pṛthulā."
(NŚ Chau. XXIX. 77)
[Thus ends the opinion of Bharata]
[The opinion of Yāṣṭika]
Bhāṣā and vibhāṣā and similarly antarabhāṣā are the three gītis spoken of by
the noble Yāstika.

Thus ends the opinion of Yāṣṭika.
[ The opinion of Kasyapa and Śārdūla]
Bhāṣāgīti and vibhāṣā have been spoken of even by Kaśyapa. Similarly,
bhāṣāgīti alone is accepted in the opinion of Śārdūla.
