330 Treatment of Svara
like those of ṣaḍjī, its mūrcchanā commences with gāndhāra, and
its proper application is in the dhruvā song of the second act.
(81-83)
In this ṣaḍjodīcyavā, madhyama is the final note, and
ṣaḍja and dhaivata are the semifinal notes.

this same verse. The reading gīti is surely more significant in
this context. The interpretation of 'S' also supports this view.
5. The purport of the song is as under :
O ! the lord of the gods as well as the demons, I bow
down to that beautiful extra (third) eye of your moonlike face
which is the means of amusement in the midst of the graceful
love-sports of the daughter of the mountain (Pārvatī).
The first kalā is (sung) by the two syllables śai and le
and the second by (the three) śa, sū and nu, while the third
is by these five. Similarly, the seventh is (sung) by (the
three) syllables a, dhi and ka and the eighth by (the three)
mu, khen and du, while the ninth kalā is (sung) by these six
together. (84-85b)
It will be observed that certain portions of the text of the song,
in the above kalā-s are repeated. Here the pattern of repetition is eluci-
dated.
The text of the first two kalā-s is repeated in the third and that
of the seventh and the eighth kalā-s is repeated in the ninth kalā.
The author has given specific instructions regarding the distribu-
tion of the syllables of the song among the kalā-s in this particular case
only, in view of the repeated portions.
