⁸¹ 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. (272) 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. (273) [ The description of gītis] Now I shall speak of the proper definition of giti. (274) [1.
