64 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
Or the whole may be repeated in all pādas. This
is difficult to compose but good.
16. In this verse the author dispels the impres-
sion that a repetition should take place in all the
four pādas. He states that it may occur either in
two contiguous pādas alone or in alternate pādas.
अनन्तर means contiguous. The repetition may be
at the end of the 1st and 2nd feet or at the end of
the 2nd and 3rd feet or at the end of the 3rd and 4th
feet. एकान्तर means alternate ; interrupted by one.
A repetition in alternate pādas may be at the end of
the 1st and 3rd feet or at the end of the 2nd and 4th
feet. Daṇḍin profusely gives examples of these
varieties. कृत्स्नं च सर्वपादेषु The whole foot may be
repeated in all the remaining pādas. An example
of the same may be cited from Bhāravi—विकाशमीयुर्ज-
गतीशमार्गणाः विकाशमीयुर्जगतीशमार्गणाः। विकाशमीयुर्जगतीशमार्गणाः विका-
शमीयुर्जगतीशमार्गणाः॥ Kir. XV—52. दुष्करं साधु तादृशं A good
composition of that sort is difficult. The reading
दुष्कृतं in the place of दुष्करं is wrong.
तुल्यश्रुतीनां भिन्नानामभिधेयैः परस्परम् ।
वर्णानां यः पुनर्वादो यमकं तन्निगद्यते ॥ १७ ॥
17. A repetition of letters similar in sound but
mutually different in meaning is called Yamaka.
17. Yamaka is defined in this verse. It would
have been more appropriate to place this before
