As Mr. Bhatkhande has pointed out, “Each ‘gati’ will be measured by a śruti; for instance ‘gāndhāra’ rising one śruti will be called ‘trigatikā’; when it rises two śrutis, it will be supposed to have gone up to two ‘gatis’ and so on.” - [Previous: c10.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c10.54) - [Next: c10.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c10.56) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c10.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.gangoly-1935.c10.55) · Pramāṇa
