పుట:The Prosody of the Telugu and Sanscrit L.pdf/54

While I have proof in the Bliarata of the Madhya and Madhura species of the' Accara, I have as yet no sufficient proof whether the rules for the other Accaras and the Ragada verses are yet fully ascertained. All common scholars give up these metres as inexplicable, and while those who really seem to understand them have presented me several verses (iu the Bharata) corrected according to the rules I have now explained, they have not produced one ancient copy, which is wholly correct. All the manuscripts of this work are in a state of miserable dilapidation, as the transcribers have made whatever alterations they pleased. I have some prospect of ultimately preparing a tolerably good copy; but shall at present produce only a few instances:—which may be held free from error, as they have been corrected according to numerous manuscripts in my hands.
