1948

The elements—molestation of women procuring the absence of the husband by sending him away to fetch a creature which will cure the malady of the king confidence of the chaste and intelligent wife in the husband the discomfiture of the villain his conveyance to the king and exposure—are present in the Bengali version. [...] Occasionally the anustubh stanza consists of two pairs of dimeter verses in each of which the cadence of the first foot and the opening of the second approximate to the rhythm. To this class of anustubh Arnold the authority on the Vedic metres gives the special name of epic anustubh. [...] The most favourite forms in the opening are the iambic — — the syncopated s2 — — and the normal =' — — —. Of these the first one is the commonest and is more than of the total number of verses in this variety. [...] But — — — which is as frequent as — — in the catukka and is one of the more common forms here is one of the less common ones in the duka and tika nipatas and is one of the rarest ones in the elm Again in the eka and tika — — — is about half as common as — — but in the duka the former is more than double of the latter. [...] In the eka and duka — — — and — — behave in the same way as they do in the catukka But in the tika just the reverse is the case.
