CHAPTER IV.
THE CANDA METRE.
88. The Canda verse is the Arya Giti of Sanscrit Prosody. It admits only such feet as equal four short syllables: only these five can therefore be used.
GG the spondee, (being1 all long).
B the dactyl, (with a long initial).
J the amphibrach, (with a long in the ceutre).
S the anapa?st, (with a long final).
NL the proceleusmatic, (entirely short).
89. The verse consists of four lines. The first and third have each three feet, while the second and fourth have five. Thus each half has eight feet.
The following is in the Padma Purann, canto 3d, verse 34.
