[ तत्र साकल्येन पदयोजना ]
[देवमसकलशशितिलकं द्विरदगतिं
निपुणमतिं मुग्धमुखाम्बुरुहदिव्यकान्तिम् ।
हरमम्बुदोदधिनिनादमचलवरसूनुदेहार्धमिश्रितशरीरं
प्रणमामि तमहमनुपममुखकमलम् ॥]
(viii) Ṣaḍjakaiśikī : (79 80)
In ṣaḍjakaiśikī¹ the fundamental notes would be ṣaḍja,
gāndhāra and pañcama; ṛṣabha and madhyama (will be) rare²
and dhaivata and niṣāda somewhat³ profuse. Caccatpuṭa will be
the tāla and there will be sixteen kalā-s in it; its proper
application will be in the prāveśikī dhruvā (song in the second
act). (79-80)
In this ṣaḍja-kaiṣikī, gāndhāra is the final note, ṣaḍja,
niṣāda and pañcama are the semifinal notes and gāndhāra-pañ-
cama, hindolaka, deśī, velāvalī, mentioned before, are seen.
Its prastāra⁴ :

1. sā sā mā pā ga-ri ma-ga mā mā
   De
2. mā mā mā mā sā sā sā sā
   vam
3. Ṣaḍja-kaiśikī is the first among the associate modified (vikṛta
   saṁsargajā) jātis which the author is now going to describe.
4. Sa, ga, pa being the fundamental notes, ri, ma, dha, ni have to
   be weak, but of these ri and ma are provided to be rare.
5. Of the non-fundamental notes, viz. ri, ma, dha and ni, ri and
   ma are declared to be rare and therefore as compared to them
   dha ni are profuse, but as compared to the fundamental notes
   they are at the same time weak and therefore relatively they
   are said to be somewhat profuse.
6. The purport of the song is as under :
   Obeisance to that Hara (Śiva) who is the God that bears
   the imperfect moon as the tilaka mark, who has the gait of an
   elephant, who is of a sharp intellect, whose innocent lotus face
   is radiant with extraordinary lustre, who (in his speech)
   sounds like the clouds and the ocean*, whose body is conjoint
   with the frame of the daughter of the mountain (Pārvatī) and
   who bears the matchless lotus face.

• Comp. S. Raj, Vol. I, p. 204 which reads अमृतोदधि meaning
  "the ocean of nectar" instead of अम्बुदोदधि of S. R.
