⁸ The *śrutyanuprāsa* is the name given to the grouping of similar sounds which exist between letters belonging to the same *sthāna*, such as *kaṇṭha*, *tālu*, *mūrdhan*, *danta* etc. It is thus distinguished from *varṇānuprāsa*. The subdivisions of *anuprāsa* are infinite : but Bhoja (ch. ii) gives an elaborate scheme of classification containing six main varieties, viz, *śruti*, *vṛtti*, *varṇa*, *pada*, *nāma-dvirukti*, and *lāṭa*.
