He sets forth the ninth topical section:
Does transformation into āyī occur according to the base-verse, or according to the subsequent verse?
Because it is for the sake of the melody, the first [view holds]; the latter, because it reveals the syllable.

In that part, on the second syllable, eliding the vowel i above the consonant c, and introducing the transformation into āyī in its place, the melody is accomplished. ‘Who, being true, among intoxications...’ is the immediately subsequent verse. In that, according to the rule of the base-verse, eliding the consonant y and the vowel o above the consonant t on the fourth syllable, there is transformation into āyī in their place. ‘Help us...’ is the other subsequent verse.
