79. IV Allowing still greater license. It has prasa and four feet in a line, but these may be any ludras and Chaudras: yati falls in the centre.

80. V. The same, but extended to twice the same length, with four yatis in each line on the uneven feet.

81. VI. With four feet in each line and yati in the centre. The feet used are only (NL. S. B) the proceleusmatitks, the anapaest (which is not an India foot) and the ductyl.

82. VII. Using (B GG. S) dactyls, spondees, and anapa?sts at pleasure; four feet in each line with yati in the centre.

83. VIII. Using eight feet in each line with yati in the centre; any Siirva may be used, followed by any Indra alternately; but H and B, the trochee and dactyl, are most usual.

84. IX. Using any Surya feet alternately with any Indra feet: four in each line, with prasa in the middle.

85. It is evident that this species of verse is dithyrambic, and hardly reducible to any rule. Melody of sound is consulted, rather than accuracy of metre : besides there nine species defined by prosodians, the poets have at pleasure formed other varieties.

The following are specimens.
