There, predominantly heavy syllables is like: / ‘The mass of nocturnal darkness, an accumulation of collyrium spat out by the flow of flames of the holy thousand-rayed sun, the sole lamp of the three worlds, thickens.’ / Predominantly light syllables is like: / ‘The vault of the sky is observed, whose form resembles an ocean free from masses of clouds.’ / Mixed is like: / ‘This arrangement is charming due to its possessing qualities that are well-knit and noble. / And our princess is full of curiosity, because in her a fresh and wondrous operation of Kāma has arisen.’ / A sentence that is richly compounded and ungentle is richly compounding prose. That too is of three kinds, through the division of delicate and ungentle words. / There, delicate is like: / ‘Here advances the enraged Bhīmasena, upon the slope of whose forehead is fixed a terrifying portal of death, whose knit brow forms the ornament that acts as a trident.’ / Ungentle words is like: [3.71] […] [3.72] / ‘And in battles whose nights were foul with downpours of rutting fluid dripping from the temples of elephants, Royal Fortune repeatedly approached his presence like an abhisārikā lady going to an assignation, pulled by his sword as if bristling with drops of liquid on its edge squeezed out by the pressure of a firm grip, in which large pearls were stuck after splitting the platforms of the temples of rut-maddened elephants—passing through the darkness composed of thousands of armors on the door-leaf-like broad chests of noble warriors.’ / All these three types are seen in narratives, tales, the Madhumallikā, and other works. [3.73] / The combination of prose and verse is mixed. / It is of three kinds: verse-dominant, prose-dominant, and equal in form. / Verse-dominant is of three kinds: with homogeneous elements, with heterogeneous elements, and with both.
