Metres of Classical Poetry in the Puranas [puranesu laukikakavyacchandamsi] / By Von Adam Hohenberger / 10-66

The Agnipurana, above all, creates such an impression according to a statement at the end of this work, it contains 11457 verses (aditah Slokanam samastyankah 11457). There we find, apart from short prose-pieces, also a few solitary verses with 11 or 12 syllables. These verses are not based on the number of simple syllables as the vedic metres are, but here the order and quantity of each syllable is fixed according to certain rules as in the works of classical poetry. Indravajra (115, 40), Upendravajra (192, 10, 196, 16), Upajati (196, 15, 255, 35 ) and Vamsastha (270, 14, 15 ) are represented here. In & single verse the four metres Upendravajra, Indravajra, Vatormi and Salini occur one after the other: Agastya evam khananad dharitrim Pujam apatyam balam ihamanah/ ubhau varnav rsir ugrah puposa satya devesv asiso vai jagama // 206, 13. * Reproduced in English from the WIENER ZEITSCHRIFT FUR DIE KUNDE SUD-UND OSTASIENS (Journal of the Indological Institute, University of Vienna ), Band IX, 1965, with the kind permission of its Editor.

Jan., 1969] METRES OF CLASSICAL POETRY IN PURANAS 11 Similarly, in the first part of the Brahmandapurana classical metres make a rare exception. There are only three such verses among 432 slokas. With regard to the number of syllables they correspond to a vedic Tristubh. But a closer examination shows that they also are composed according to the rules of classical poetry. Of them one proves to be Upajati (I, 1, 174) while the other two have a stamp of Salini on them (1, 5, 107, 108). In the third Pada of the Brahmandapurana, as against in the first, we find other metres also more frequently. The chapters 41, 50 offer eight different metres, viz., 1 each of Vasantatilaka and Mandakranta, 2 each of Indravajra and Upendravajra, 4 Upajatis, 5 Malinis, 9 Sardulavi kriditas and 10 Sragdharas. The variety is still greater in the Bhagavatapurana VII, 8, where Upajati, Salini, Vamsastha, Vasantatila ka, Kanakaprabha, Bhujanga-Prayata, Praharsini, Salini and Mandakranta occur in a colourful series. A closer examination of the different works leads us to the astonishing conclusion that, with regard to the number of metres employed, the Puranas do not lag behind the many famous classical poems. Harsadeva employs in the Ratnavali 14 more or less classical metres apart from the Sloka, whereas Kalidasa uses 20 in the Malavikagnimitra and 21 in the Sakuntala. These figures are surpassed in the Bhagavata-, Matsya-, and Padmapuranas. Although the considerably greater volume of these works has to be taken into account, still we can not overlook the fact that the authors endeavoured to vie with the classical poets. In works this is already evident from the fact that they begin with a classical metre. The first or the second verse (as the case may be) in the Matsya-, Varaha-, and in the Srstikhanda of the Padmapurana are composed in the metre Sragdhara following the example of Kalidasa's Sakuntala. The Bhagavata-purana and the Brahmapurana exhibit the metre Sardula-vikridita in the first two verses. In this regard all the Puranas are surpassed by the Harivamsa. In a short introduction, which precedes the main work, each single verse is composed in a different metre with only one exception. There we find Sloka, Vasantatila ka, Arya, Vasantatila ka, Upendravajra, Indravajra, Giti and Upajati in this

12 puranam - PURANA [Vol. XI., No. 1 order. The Bhavisyapurana contains six different metres in the first eight verses. This state of affairs is interesting from more than one point of view. It shows that the authors of the Puranas were we acquainted with the rules of classical poetry. Although the ability of the individual poet might have varied from one to the other, yet from the variety of the metres employed clues may be obtained about the time of the composition. It is striking that the works of earlier time like the Vayu- and the Visnupurana contain only nine or ten metres whereas their number in the Bhagavatapurana, which is generally considered to be younger, rises upto 31. The Agnipurana is an exception here. The fact that only very few metres are employed in it cannot be considered as an evidences of its high antiquity because individual episodes, like the narration of the great flood, give the impression of a later composition. The question might remain undecided whether the authors of this work were less acquainted with classical poetry or they did not attach much importance to the presentation of the entire material in classical metres. A register of all metres and the places of their occurrence in tne great Puranas has, above all, a practical significance. I came upon the idea of such a compilation as I was attempting to verify all the quotations in Ramanuja's Vedantadipa. Particularly a passage in Salini metre could not be located for a long time. Ramanuja quotes only the first line in his shorter interpretation of the Brahmasutras (1, 2, 26). The full text is found in the corresponding place of his great Commentary, in the sribhasya, where it runs as follows: "smaranti ca munayah/: dyam murdhanam yasya vipra vadanti kham vai nabhim candrasuryau ca netre/ disah srotre viddhi padau ksitim ca so 'cintyatma sarvabhutapraneta || iti. It is followed by a passage, similar in content, from the Mahabharata 12, 47, 68 which has parallel in the Matsyapurana

Jan., 1969] METRES OF CLASSICAL POETRY IN PURANAS 13 (246, 53). Also Matsyapurana 154, 9, 10 and its parallel Padmapurana V, 40, 12 correspond to the above quotation from the point of view of their content as well as the metre Salini. But Ramanuja could hardly have had this passage in view, because the last line of the quotation is missing here. Moreover the context is about a eulogy which the gods offer, not to Visnu, but to Brahma. Only after a long search, the full quotation was found in the Brahmandapurana 1, 5, 107, and further, almost in similar wording, also in the Vayupurana 9, 120 and in the sivapurana VII, 1, 12, 76. But it is remarkable how less accurately the text is transmitted in the first two places. Of the obvious scribal errors only two may be mentioned in the Vayupurana the Nominative dyaur next to the Accusative murdhanam and in the Brahmandapurana the complete omission of dyaur and its subsequent replacement by vai. Ramanuja has preserved-not only in this case-the wording more faithfully than the original texts. An example from the vedic literature is Atharvavedasamhita 8, 9, 10 of the Paippalada-school. In the Tubingen Manuscript and in the editions based on it the passage is transmitted full of mistakes and would have remained unintelligible, had not Ramanuja recorded the wording correctly in his interpretation of Brahmasutra II, 3, 42. The present work is divided into a table of the employed metres and a register of the places of their occurrence. In the table the consulted works are given in the Latin alphabetical order from top to bottom on the left hand side. It contains all the great Puranas whose number is given in the lists, mostly as 18, but which actually amounts to 19. In the Padmapurana (IV, 111, 90-94) the Vayu is omitted and in the Matsyapurana (53, 11-59) the Sivapurana is omitted. The Kurma-Purana (1, 1, 13- 15) maintains the number 18, but mentions the Vayupurana as the 18th and the Brahmandapurana as the 19th. We may spare ourselves the justification of the number 18 through the argument that either the Sivapurana or the Brahmandapurana is regarded as "a Purana proclaimed by Vayu", because the editions of the texts of three works, and thus of all the 19 great Puranas, are

14 puranam - PURANA [Vol. XI., No. 1 available to us. A Naradiyapurana is mentioned in the lists of the Mabapuranas as well as of the Upapuranas. The Brhannaradiyapurana, which has been counsulted, should belong to the former group, because it enjoyed such a high respect that Ramanuja quotes the verse 36, 17 in his Bhagavadgitabhasya (13, 4). Another quotation in his two interpretations of Brahmasutra IV, 1, 13 is found in the Brahmavaivartapurana (4, 130, 9) as well as in the Brihan-naradiyapurana (9, 79). Of the Skandapurana, which according to Matsyapurana 53, 43 should contain altogether 81100 verses, only an edition of the Sahyadri khanda apart from a few Mahatmyas was available. The Harivamsa, about wbich M. Winternitz commented long ago that this work is "in reality a Purana", indeed "absolutely and entirely a Purana" (History of Indian Literature, Vol. I. pp. 443, 454) has also been consulted and the information about it has been given at the end. The metre employed in the consulted works are given in the table from left to right at the top in the same order as was maintained by Albrecht Weber in his two monographs of Indian Prosody (Abhandlungen uber die Metrik der Inder) in the eighth volume of the Indische Studien, Berlin 1863. About the names of the metres, it is explained there that not a few are based on epithets for women, some give at the same time a hint as to the way the corresponding metre is constructed, others imitate the voices or habits of animals and some are derived from flora or borrowed from the names of gods and demons (pp. 170-178). In the Puranas are to be found, among the Ganachandas with a specific number of feet, each consisting of four morae, the varieties of the Arya (1-5); some Matrachandas with a specific number of morae, although not bound by any definite order of feet (6-10), in a greater number the aksarachandas in which the number of syllables and the quantity as well as the order of each individual syllable (11-46)/ is fixed. From the latter variety, which are similar in the fact that the four lines of a verse are constructed in the same way, three groups can be formed; metres with 11 syllables (varieties of Tristubh 11-20). metres with 12 syllables (varieties of the Jagati 21-30) and metres with more than 12 syllables (31-46).

Jan., 1969] METRES OF CLASSICAL POETRY IN PURANAS 15 A reference may be made of some of the metres which were not described in detail in the above-mentioned monographs. In the Brahmandapurana there are eight lines with 10 syllables each and two lines with 11 syllables each, all of which begin with the expression tvadbhita. This metre is not given in the 13 varieties. of the Pankti (op. cit., pp. 369-371). In its construction it resembles the Salini with the following exception, viz., that at the beginning of each line there are three long syllables before caesura in stead of four tvadbhita anudravanti janas, tvadbhita bramacaryam caranti...... In the Bhavisyapurana (III, 3, 20, 8) there is variety of the Tristubh which resembles the metre Sumukhi in the first and in the fourth pada, but contains in the second and in the third pada Amphimacer in stead of Amphibrachys. Jayati te vapur divyavigraham nayati sarvada devataganan / pibati matriyam dugdham uttamam vadhati sarvada daityadanavan || A rather irregularly constructed variety of the Jagati corresponds, to a great extent, to the metre Lalita except in the first pada (Bhavisyapurana IV, 134, 46). A verse from the Garudapurana (110, 14) resembles in the second and in the fourth line the metre Drutavilambita, according to which also the second and the fourth lines of the metre Harinapluta are constructed (op. cit., p. 360). The first and the third lines end like the Vaitaliya, but contain at the beginning a long syllable in stead of a short one, in other words, each line has one mora more : Karnabhusanasamgrahocito yadi manis tu pade pratibadhyate | kim manir nahi sobhate tatah bhavati yojayitur vacaniyata || The Padmapurana (V, 43, 92) contains a verse, whose 14 syllables, with the exception of the penultimate one, are all short: bhavabhayahara hara parama udara mama sukhakarana nikhila-

16 puranam - PURANA [Vol. XI., No. 1 surasara......comparable are the metres Gauri with two long syllables after 14 short ones. (op. cit., pp. 385, 390). A verse in the Sivapurana is a Matrasa maka (op. cit., pp. 314-319), but contains 19 in stead of 16 morae. last words of each two lines rhyme with one another: vairibhayamkara samkara janasaranasya Moreover the vande tava pada padmam sukhakaranasya | vijnaptim mama karne skanda nidhehi nijabhaktim janacetasi sada vidhehi || As examples for the employment of refrain, which A. Weber has traced to the vedic literature (op. cit., pp. 69-71) three cases may be cited. Three in a series of verses, the last syllable has the same sound, and that is in the metres Indravajra: tvam ahur agryam purusam puranam (Matsyap. 163, 99-103); Vasantatilaka: samcintayed bhagavatah caranaravindam (Brahmavaivartap. 1, 30, 1-6); Vibudhapriya: Candrasekharam asraye mama kim karisyati vai Yamah (Padmap. VI, 236, 75-82). The Gathas, which are constructed irregularly, are omitted in the table and in the register (see Matsyap. 159, 40-43. of Padmap. V., 41, 181-184). It is not always possible to delimit the individual verses exactly. Occasionally two lines are constructed as Upajati and the other two as Vamsastha or three lines belong to one metre and only the fourth line to another metre. There are isolated cases of combination between Indravajra and Salini or Vamsastha and Vasantatilaka. In such special cases each half verse is noted down separately. Otherwise the whole verse is given under one metre or the other, because the enumeration of all the irregularities would have impaired the general view. In Indian Prosody such mixed constructions are considered as varieties of the Upajati. While commenting upon the plural Upajatayah, which occur in a sutra of Pingala, A. Weber says that 14 different varieties of the Upajati can be constructed from the two metres Indravajra and Upendravajra alone through various combinations of the individual lines. Moreover, he refers to the view

Jan., 1969] METRES OF CLASSICAL POETRY IN PURANAS 17 of the commentator Halayudha and others. According to which it is possible to construct sub-varieties or varieties of the Upajati from Vamsastha and Indravamsa, and Salini and Vatormi, as well other metres which differ slightly from each other (op. cit., pp. 372, 373). A number of examples of such mixed varieties are to be found above all, in the Harivamsa II, 22, 28-60; in the Matsyapurana 25-42; and in the Bhagavatapurana X, 63. 36; 64, 13, XI, 14, 24; 22, 30. A register of all the metres of classical poetry, employed in the Puranas, makes it easier to trace the quotations to a great extent. In order to find out where a certain verse occurs and whether it is to be found at other places also, it is sufficient to refer to the places of occurrence of the corresponding metre in each work. The following two examples may illustrate this point. (III, 7, 14) (a) According to the Visnupurana/, Yama says the following to his servant in the metre Puspitagra : Parihara Madhusudanaprapannan Prabhur aham asmi nrnam na Vaisnavanam // The Vamanapurana (94, 31) substitutes- prasannan forprapannan and anyanrnath for asmi nrnam. The Garudapurana (219, 16) has-prapannan as in the Visnupurana and anyanrnam as in the Vamanapurana, but na is intensified through the addition of kadapi without any regard to the length of the verse. Finally the Padmapurana (VI, 194, 102) changes Madhusudana-prapannan or the prasannan into Bhagavat kathasu Mattan. The order of the changes mentioned here might reflect, at the same time, the chronological order of the four works. (b) The Bhagavatapnrana has, after the end of the 12 books, a Bhagavatamahatmya in six chapters. The colophons begin with the words: iti sripadmapurane uttarakhande. The search after these six chapters in the voluminous Uttarakhanda of the Padmapurana would be quite a time-consuming job, in so far as there is no table of contents. On the other hand a comparison of the metres, which are found in it, leads us to our goal faster. The corresponding metres are as follows: 3

A comparison with the edition of the text shows an almost complet agreement between the Mahatmya and Padmapurana VI, 189, 4-194, 106. Only a few additional verses, which are to be found in some manuscripts, are also taken in the edition of the Padmapurana. It is evident from various passages that the Bhagavata purana in its present form was known to the authors of the Padmapurana VI. It is expressly stated in the Padmapurana VI that the Bhagavatapurana consists of 18000 verses and 12 books (grantho 'stadasasahasro dvadasas kandhasamy utah 191, 28. of 193, 52, 194, 105).

Summary* A nearer view of the Puranas reveals the interesting fact that these works contain many artificial metres, such as are applied by Kalidasa and other famous poets. In his Sakuntala we find 21, in the Bhavisyapurana 24, and in the Bhagavatapurana 31 such metres. The investigation before us shows after an introduction: A. in a table of numbers how often each metre in the Mahapuranas and in the Harivamsa occurs, and B. in a list of passages where each metre in the mentioned works is to be found. * In the original German article this summary in English has been given at the end by the author himself.
