siṃho vaya iti | siṃhaṃ vayasāpnoccadiścanda ityaticandā vai cadiścandaḥ sā hi sarvāṇi candāṃsi cādayatyaticandā ha bhūtvā siṃhā uccakramurathāto niruktāneva paśūnniruktāni candāṃsyupadadhāti
'The lion is vigour,'--the lion he overtook by his vigour;--'the covering the metre,'--the covering metre, doubtless, is the Atikkhandas, for that covers (includes) all metres: in the form of the Atikkhandas the lions indeed went forth. And so he places undefined metres along with defined beasts.
