GLOSSARY
āmredita, 'reiterated': (1) a type of yamaka in which the word at the end
of each pada is repeated. (2) NS 16.79 (80), AP 343.16. (3) vijṛmbhi-
tam nihśvasitam muhur muhuḥ katham vidheyasmaraṇam de pade /
yathā ca te dhyānam idaṁ punaḥ punar dhruvam gatâte rajanī vinā
vinā (Bharata: "Again and again yawning and sighing; why is your
remembrance fixed on these several situations? Just as your medita-
tion returns again and again, so indeed the night passes without her,
without her"). (5) This yamaka of Bharata is peculiar in referring
to the repetition of words; in fact, the later definitions of yamaka
specify that the two readings obtained by repetition must have a
different word base, and that the scope of the repetition is usually the
pada or a fractional part thereof (that is, must be entirely independent
of the semantic content of the utterance). Bharata is less strict on
this point; āmreḍita yamaka resembles läțânuprāsa, except that the
repetition of words is confined to the end of the pāda.
avali, 'necklace': (1) a type of yamaka showing varied types of repetition
within the confines of single pādas. (2) B 2.9 (14). (3) sitâsitakşīm

pine my love, thick locked, with eyes both light and dark, her body
with such lovely breasts and lips, by whom passion is manifested,
giver of ornament"). (4) The form, for this example only, is: AAxxBB
xCxCxC DDxDDx xxxxEE. (5) This type of random repetition
shows the close relation between alliteration (anuprāsa) and cadence
(yamaka). Later writers tend to extend the scope of the repetition
to larger parts of the verse and thus lessen the possibility of such
free play.
āvṛti, "covering¹: (1) a type of yamaka in which the repeated elements
are the first and fourth pādas. (2) R 3.3 (6), M 118C. (3) mudaratādī
