End Notes
1 In Vuttodaya the metres in this section are omitted, and a description of the Vaktra (Pàëi: Vatta) metre is included instead. In may be stated here that the Vaktra metre is neither a Màtràvtta nor a Viùamavtta, and so is misplaced in both books. Chøà places it at the beginning of the Vtta section, in the fifth chapter.
2 S: [pare] 'smàn; P fn: 'smàt- .
3 S: -vddhàþ; P fn: vddyà ??
4 S, V, P fn: tad-abhihitam-amalaghãbhiþ.
5 Dh: gurukayuganidhana; P fn: -yugalaka- ; both are which are incorrect metrically.
6 S: kalita àõà | vidhtarucirapadavitati; P fn: kalita àïvidhtarucirapada; Dh -vitatiyatir-iti; V, P fn: -racana[yatir-iti].
7 This is only a variation on Padacaturårdhva. Here the last 2 syllables at the end of each line are heavy, the rest are light. The other metres in this section are variations on this theme.
Chøà lists 2 metres called Pratyàpãóa, that have a different structure - the first of these has 2 heavy syllables at the beginning of the line, with the rest being light; the second has 2 heavy syllables at the beginning and at the end of the line, the rest again being light.
8 Chøà: Ma¤jarã.
9 P fn: [prathamam]-apara- .
10 Dh: sapadi; S, P fn: jagati.
11 S: itaraditarajanitam-;
12 Dh: ca yadi turyaü; P fn: -janitam-api bhavati ÷eùam.
13 The structure of Lavalã in Chøà is described differently as being 16, 12, 8, & 20 syllables.
14 Dh: -anubhavati ttãyaþ (incorrect metrically); P fn: [caraõa]-racitam-anubhavati ttãyaþ.
15 Dh: aparam-iha; V, P fn: apara [iha]; S, P fn: caraõa [iha].
16 S: ca.
17 S, P fn: [praktam]-aparam-akhilam-api yadi bhavati.
18 The structure of Amtadharà in Chøà is described differently as being 20, 12, 16, & 8 syllables.
19 S, V: -avasiti- ; S: yugmà.
20 Dh: nikhilam-.
21 Dh: tad-idam-; S: nikhilam-aparam-uparitanasamam-iha lalitapàdà tritayam-amtadhàrà.
P fn: nikhilam-aparam-uparitanasamam-iha lalitapàdàntritayam-amtadhàrà.
22 P omits.
23 S: -gurukeùv-; P fn: -gurukeùu- .
24 Dh: tryaïghrigatatamanajalà; P fn: aïghri- [i.e. without try-].
25 Dh: caraõemakataþ (incorrect metrically); S: caram; which is probably a printer's error.
26 This and the next metre are variants of Udgatà, differing only in their 3rd line.
27 S, Dh, P fn: bhajati.
28 S: nikhilam- .
29 S: yugala¤-ca.
30 S, P fn: bhajati caraõaü ttãyakam; Dh omits this line and the next by mistake, printer's error.
31 P, Dh omit.
32 V, Dh: -anyat-
33 S, Dh, P fn: -tathà.
34 This and the next metre are variants of Upasthitapracupita, differing only in their 3rd line.
35 P fn: na sayuktau ca.
36 S, P fn: -yatipravardhamànam.
37 P fn: -iha.
38 S, P fn: khalu.
38a Chøà has a slighty different name for this metre: øuddhaviràóùabhaü.
39 S, P fn: [ttãya]-pàdake; Dh omits yadà.
40 P fn: tritayam-api.
41 S excludes yadi.
42 P, Dh omit.
43 S: viùamàkùarapàdatvàtpàdairasama¤jasaü dharmavat.
44 S: yac-chandasi.
45 Chøà says simply: atrànuktaü gàthà.
46 P omits; Dh: iti ÷rã kedàrabhaññaviracite vttaratnàkare pa¤camo 'dhyàyaþ.
