GaP 1 208.1

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम्- २०८ सूत उवाच । आर्यालक्ष्म त्वष्ट गणाः सदा जो विषमे न हि । षष्ठे जो न्लौ वापि भवेत् पदं षष्ठे द्वितीयलात्

śrīgaruḍamahāpurāṇam- 208 sūta uvāca / āryālakṣma tvaṣṭa gaṇāḥ sadā jo viṣame na hi / ṣaṣṭhe jo nlau vāpi bhavet padaṃ ṣaṣṭhe dvitīyalāt

Sūta said: The definition of the āryā: there are always eight gaṇas; ja never in an odd (gaṇa); in the sixth (there may be) ja, or else na and la; a word-end may fall in the sixth when the second (syllable) is light.

आदितः सप्तमे ह्रस्वा द्वितीयार्धे शरे ततः । त्रिगणाङ्घ्रिश्च पथ्या स्याद्विपुला वह्निलङ्घनात्

āditaḥ saptame hrasvā dvitīyārdhe śare tataḥ / trigaṇāṅghriśca pathyā syādvipulā vahnilaṅghanāt

In the seventh from the beginning it is short; in the second half at the fifth, thereafter; and with a foot of three gaṇas it would be pathyā; vipulā arises from overstepping the third (gaṇa).

ग्मध्ये द्वितुर्यौ जौ चपला मुखपूर्वादिचापला । द्वितीयार्धे सजघना आर्याजातेश्च लक्षणम्

gmadhye dvituryau jau capalā mukhapūrvādicāpalā / dvitīyārdhe sajaghanā āryājāteśca lakṣaṇam

When ja stands as the second and fourth in the middle (of the heavy portion), it is capalā; with the beginning (i.e. the first half) foremost it is mukhacapalā; in the second half, jaghanacapalā. And this is the definition of the āryā class.

आर्या प्रथमार्धलक्ष्म गीतिः स्याच्चेद्दलद्वये । उपगीतिर्द्वितीयार्धादुद्गीतिर्व्यत्ययाद्भवेत्

āryā prathamārdhalakṣma gītiḥ syācceddaladvaye / upagītirdvitīyārdhādudgītirvyatyayādbhavet

If the definition of the first half of the āryā (applies) to both halves, it is gīti; from (repeating) the second half, upagīti; from the interchange (of the two halves) arises udgīti.

GaP 1 208.7

आर्यागीतिश्चान्तगुरुर्गोतिजातेश्च लक्षणम् । षट् कला विषमे चेत्स्युः समे ऽष्टौ न निरन्तराः । समा पराश्रिता न स्याद्वैतालीये रलौ गुरुः ॥ गर्प्_१,२०८।५ ॥ अन्तेर् यौ पूर्ववदिदमौपच्छन्दसिकं मतम् ॥ गर्प्_१,२०८।६ ॥ भाद्गौ स्यादापातलिका ज्ञेयाथो दक्षिणान्तिका । पराश्रितो द्वितीयो लः पादेषु निखिलेष्वपि

āryāgītiścāntagururgotijāteśca lakṣaṇam / ṣaṭ kalā viṣame cetsyuḥ same 'ṣṭau na nirantarāḥ / samā parāśritā na syādvaitālīye ralau guruḥ // garp_1,208.5 // anter yau pūrvavadidamaupacchandasikaṃ matam // garp_1,208.6 // bhādgau syādāpātalikā jñeyātho dakṣiṇāntikā / parāśrito dvitīyo laḥ pādeṣu nikhileṣvapi

And āryāgīti has a heavy syllable at the end — this too is the definition of the gīti class. If in the odd (pāda) there are six moras and in the even eight, not continuous, then... The even (pāda) should not depend on another; in the vaitālīya, ra, la and a heavy syllable [1,208.5]. At the end ya, as before: this is held to be aupacchandasika [1,208.6]. With bha and two heavy syllables it would be āpātalikā; then dakṣiṇāntikā is to be known; the second la is dependent on another in all the pādas.

उदीच्यवृत्तिरसमे प्राच्यवृत्तिस्तु युग्मके । सपञ्चमश्चतुर्थांशे युगपत्तौ प्रवृत्तकम्

udīcyavṛttirasame prācyavṛttistu yugmake / sapañcamaścaturthāṃśe yugapattau pravṛttakam

In the odd (pāda) the northern form, but in the even the eastern form; with a fifth (syllable) in the fourth part, when both occur together, it is pravṛttaka.

उदीच्याद्यङ्घ्रिसंयोगाद्युग्मपादैकपादिका । चारुहासिन्ययुग्माङ्घ्रौ वैतालीयस्य संग्रहः

udīcyādyaṅghrisaṃyogādyugmapādaikapādikā / cāruhāsinyayugmāṅghrau vaitālīyasya saṃgrahaḥ

From combining the northern (form) in the first foot and so on, (arises) the yugmapādaikapādikā; cāruhāsinī in the odd feet — (such is) the compendium of the vaitālīya.

वक्त्रं नाद्यान्नसौ स्यातां चतुर्थाद्यगणो भवेत् । पथ्यावक्त्रं जेन समे विपरीतादिरन्यथा

vaktraṃ nādyānnasau syātāṃ caturthādyagaṇo bhavet / pathyāvaktraṃ jena same viparītādiranyathā

(In) vaktra, at the beginning na and sa should not occur; the fourth may be the first gaṇa; with ja in the even (pāda) it is pathyāvaktra; otherwise, with the reverse at the start, (it is another kind).

उसमे नश्च चपला विपुला लघुसप्तमा । निखिले वा सैतवस्य म्रौ न्तौ चाब्धेस्तत्पूर्वकौ ॥ गर्प्_१,२०८।११ ॥ षोडशलो ऽचलधृतिर्मात्रासमकमुच्यते ॥ गर्प्_१,२०८।१२ ॥ नवमलस्तथा गो ऽन्त्यः जो न्लौवाथाम्बुधेर्यथा । विश्लोकः स्यात्तच्चतुष्कद्विगुणाद्वानवासिका

usame naśca capalā vipulā laghusaptamā / nikhile vā saitavasya mrau ntau cābdhestatpūrvakau // garp_1,208.11 // ṣoḍaśalo 'caladhṛtirmātrāsamakamucyate // garp_1,208.12 // navamalastathā go 'ntyaḥ jo nlauvāthāmbudheryathā / viślokaḥ syāttaccatuṣkadviguṇādvānavāsikā

And with na in the odd (pāda) it is capalā; vipulā has a light seventh; or in all (pādas), (that is) Saitava's (form). ma and ra, and na and ta, precede that at the fourth [1,208.11]. With a light sixteenth it is acaladhṛti; (this) is called mātrāsamaka [1,208.12]. Likewise the ninth light and the last heavy, or ja and na-la, as at the fourth — it would be viśloka; or from doubling that group of four, vānavāsikā.

बाणाष्टनवकेषु स्याल्लश्चित्रा षोडशात्मिका । सममात्रासमादिष्टं पदाकुलकमीरितम्

bāṇāṣṭanavakeṣu syāllaścitrā ṣoḍaśātmikā / samamātrāsamādiṣṭaṃ padākulakamīritam

When the light (syllables) fall at the fifth, eighth and ninth, it is citrā, consisting of sixteen (moras); what is prescribed as equal in moras and equal (in syllables) is declared to be padākulaka.

वृत्तमात्रा विना वर्णैर्ला वर्णा गुरुभिर्विना । गुरुवो लैर्दले नित्यं प्रमाणमिति निश्चितम्

vṛttamātrā vinā varṇairlā varṇā gurubhirvinā / guruvo lairdale nityaṃ pramāṇamiti niścitam

Metre is measured by moras apart from syllables; the light are syllables apart from heavy ones; and the heavy (count) by the light in a half-verse — this is settled as the standard.

अष्टाविंशातिला गन्ता प्रथमार्धे द्वितीयके । त्रिंशदस्यां शिखा गन्ता खञ्जातद्व्यत्ययाद्भवेत्

aṣṭāviṃśātilā gantā prathamārdhe dvitīyake / triṃśadasyāṃ śikhā gantā khañjātadvyatyayādbhavet

Twenty-eight light syllables ending in a heavy one in the first half, thirty in the second: in this (metre) she is śikhā, ending in a heavy syllable; from the reversal of that comes khañjā.
