“किंसु निदानं गाथानं, किंसु तासं वियञ्जनं; किंसु सन्निस्सिता गाथा, किंसु गाथानमासयो”ति।
“Kiṁsu nidānaṁ gāthānaṁ, kiṁsu tāsaṁ viyañjanaṁ; Kiṁsu sannissitā gāthā, kiṁsu gāthānamāsayo”ti.
“What’s the basis of verses? What’s their detailed expression? What do verses depend upon? What underlies verses?”
“छन्दो निदानं गाथानं, अक्खरा तासं वियञ्जनं; नामसन्निस्सिता गाथा, कवि गाथानमासयो”ति।
“Chando nidānaṁ gāthānaṁ, akkharā tāsaṁ viyañjanaṁ; Nāmasannissitā gāthā, kavi gāthānamāsayo”ti.
“Metre is the basis of verses. Syllables are their detailed expression. Verses depend on names. A poet underlies verses.”
