(xvi) Gāndhāra-pañcamī :
In gāndhāra-pañcamī, the fundamental note is pañcama
and like gāndhārī and pañcamī, here too, many notes have to
be brought in concert with each other¹; (the tāla is) caccatpuṭa,
there are sixteen kalā-s, its mūrcchanā commences with gāndhāra
and its proper application is in the dhruvā song related to the
fourth act. (103c-105c)
In this gāndhāra-pañcamī the final note is gāndhāra, and
ṛṣabha and pañcama are the semifinal notes.
Its prastāra² :

1. pā ma-pa ma-dha nī dha-pa mā dhā nī
   Kāṁ
2. sa-ni-ni dhā pā pā pā pā pā pā
   tam
3. dhā nī sā sā mā mā pā pā
   vā mai ka de śa
4. In gāndhārī, the fundamental and the final notes are in concert
   with the rest of the notes, so here too likewise, gāndhāra and
   pañcama are deduced to be in concert with the rest, viz. sa, ri,
   ma, dha and ni. In pañcamī ri and ma are in concert, so may
   it be understood here as well.
5. The purport of the song is as under :
   Obeisance to that beloved Lord who is like the swinging
   lotus in leaning towards his left side alone (Pārvatī being
   seated to his left), who is sportively making love by briskly
   and playfully holding the breasts of the beautiful daughter of
   the mountain (Pārvatī) scented by the perfume of the most
   fragrant flowers and who takes delight in sporting the half
   moon for his embellishment.
