[Full title: The Chandas employed in 惭耻诲谤腻谤腻办峁�a蝉补 (16). M膩lyabh膩ri峁嚹玗

In the last act of 惭耻诲谤腻谤腻办峁�a蝉补 the meter M膩lyabh膩ri峁嚹� can be seen in only two places, i.e. VII.11, 12. This is an 补谤诲丑补蝉补尘补惫峁泃迟补 type of meter, as this meter has got 11 syllables in two quarters and 12 syllables in other two quarters.

This meter has been defined by 骋补峁単腻诲腻蝉补 补蝉:鈥�

vi峁�ame sasaj膩 yad膩 guru cet sabhar膩 yena tu m膩labh膩ri峁嚹珁a峁億^[1]

Where in the odd quarters (1^st and 3^rd quarters) of a meter sa, sa, ja and two long syllables are present and in the even quarters (2^nd and 4^th quarters) sa, bha, ra and ya 驳补峁嘺蝉 are present then the meter there is M膩lyabh膩ri峁嚹� or M膩labh膩ri峁嚹�. In the verse VII.11 Candragupta is eulogizing 颁腻峁嘺办测补 and in VII.12 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 is praising Candragupta. Therefore it is seen that in both the places 痴颈艣腻办丑补诲补迟迟补 has used the meter in eulogizing someone. Let us scan one of the two verses in the following:

Thus it is seen that in this verse the odd quarters comprised of the 驳补峁嘺蝉 sa, sa, ja, ga and ga; and the even quarters comprised of sa, bha, ra and ya 驳补峁嘺蝉. Thus, it is a proven example of M膩lbh膩ri峁嚹� meter.
