Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part I.—History Literature &c. 1877

1877

When (in the first half of a stanza) the sixth foot is an amphibrach (J) or a proceleusmatic (NL) and with no amphibrach (J) in the odd feet of the remaining six together with a final long (G) ; and when in the second half the sixth foot is a breve (L) with six other feet together with a final long quantity (G) the metre is called A riy a. 17. [...] If the sixth foot of the first half be a proceleusmatic (NL1 the pause must be on the first of the four instants ; if in the second half the fifth foot be a proceleusmatic (NL) the pause falls on the last syllable of the fourth foot. [...] That is Mukhacapala the first half of which has the characteristics of a Capali and the second half those of a Pathya. [...] That is Jaghanacapala the first half of which has the characteritics of a Patbyli and the second half those of a CapaLi. [...] Be it known that in the Pathysi class of metres the difference between the number of the long quantities and the instants equals the number of the syllables ; the difference between the number of the syllables and the instants equals the number of the long quatities ; half the difference between the number of the short quantties and the instants equals the number of the long quantities.
