Vernacular translation: O modest lady! O beautiful-eyed one! In whichever (rathoddhatā) metre the ninth and tenth syllables are inverted—that is, the ninth is in place of the tenth syllable and the tenth syllable in place of the ninth—poets have called that svāgatā metre. In rathoddhatā the ninth is long and the tenth is short, but in this one the tenth is long and the ninth is short. || 26
