Part 3.3a - ղ岹ī Rīti

The ղ岹ī īپ is of beautiful arrangement of syllables which are sweet in sound. Mostly it is devoid of compound words and thus of easy comprehension. ʰ岹 and ܰⲹ are two conspicuous merits of the ղ岹ī style.[1] This style goes well with the Śṛṅ, and ṇa rasa and it is particularly suited to all other tender feelings.

In the ī󲹱, an impressive of the ղ岹ī īپ is found in the verse sarale sāhasarāga�.............etc182 wherein the use of compound has been avoided. Herein the description is couched in a simple, sweet and spontaneous language. Hence, this verse is classed under the category of ղ岹ī īپ. Again, the verse ᱹǰ첹 Ծ …ĦĦĦeٳ[2] is another example of ղ岹ī īپ. 󲹱ūپ has composed this verse beautifully with the arrangement of the minimum possible sweet sounding syllables such as la, ka, ya in the word ᱹǰ첹; ra, ja, ta, etc in the word Ჹٱ; ma, sa,la in the word īܰī and has tried to avoid the harsh syllables like ṭa, , ḍa, ḍh etc. This verse is also free from long and complicated compounds. Here, only simple and short compounded words like Ჹǰ첹, ī貹ś󲹲 have been used. Moreover, the words of the verse are easy of comprehension which entitles it to be classed under ղ岹ī style.
