Amongst these the only Tāl which is commoner than in the Carnatic is G. II Chautāla (i.e. Char-tāla, ‘four-beat’). It is used especially for Dhrūpads (see Chapter XI). The three names of Titāla (D. II) all mean ‘three-beat’. Some of the other names are descriptive—Jhampa, ‘jumping’; Surphakta, ‘zigzag’; Āḍa-chautāla, ‘crooked four-beat’; Dhamār (for dha-mātrā), ‘having a high number of time-units’.
