Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c14.19

c14.19

The second class consists of hymns in each of which some decasyllabic variation is predominant, although some of them contain many verses in Triṣṭubh or Jagatī. These we now name *hymns in decasyllabic metres*, with the same qualification as in the last section. Variations of all kinds occurring in these hymns are given in the lists in this chapter within square brackets or in special subsections, but are entirely excluded from the tables. The hymns here referred to are i 61, 65–70; ii 11; iv 10; vi 44 7–9; vii 34 1–21, 56 1–11; ix 109; x 1, 6, 46, 77 1–5, 78 1–6 (§ 94 iii *b c d*).
