(Translation by W.D. Whitney, 1868)

॥१॥
अथ वर्णसमाम्नायः॥१.१॥
Now the list of sounds.

Now the nine at the beginning are simple vowels.

द्वेद्वे सवर्णे ह्रस्वदीर्घे॥१.३॥
Two and two, short and long, are similar.

Not so, when a protracted vowel precedes.

And are called first, second, third, fourth, and last.

The spirants, visarjanīya, and the first and second mutes, are surd.

But not h.

The rest of the consonants are sonant.

A sound followed by kāra is the name of that sound.

Not of visarjanīya, jihvāmūlīya, upadhmānīya, anusvāra, and the nāsikyas.

Now for the origin of the differences of articulate sounds.

अनुप्रदानात्सꣳसर्गात्स्थानात्करणविन्ययात्।
जायते वर्णवैशेष्यं परिमाणाच्च पञ्चमाद् इति॥२३.२॥
The differentiation of articulate sounds arises from emission, closure, position, disposition of producing organ, and, fifthly, from quantity.

वर्णपृक्तः शब्दो वाच उत्पत्तिः॥२३.३॥
Sound combined with articulation is the orgin of voice.

सप्त वाच स्थानानि भवन्ति॥२३.४॥
Of voice, there are seven qualities.

उपाꣳशुध्वाननिमदोपब्दिमन्मन्द्रमध्यमताराणि॥२३.५॥
Namely, inaudible, murmur, whisper, mumbling, soft, middle, and loud.

करणवदशब्दममनःप्रयोगमुपाꣳशु॥२३.६॥
“Inaudible” is without sound, without application of mind, but with articulating action.

अक्षरव्यञ्जनानामनुपलब्धिर्ध्वानः॥२३.७॥
“Murmur” is inaudibleness of syllables and consonants.

उपलब्धिर्निमदः॥२३.८॥
“Whisper” is their audibleness.

सशब्दमुपब्दिमत्॥२३.९॥
“Mumbling” is the same, with sound.

उरसि मन्द्रं कण्ठे मध्यमꣳ शिरसि तारम्॥२३.१०॥
“Soft” is in the chest, “middle” in the throat, “loud” in the head.

मन्द्रादिषु त्रिषुं स्थानेषु सप्तसप्त यमाः॥२३.११॥
In the three qualities beginning with “soft,” there are seven tones each.

कृष्टप्रथमद्वितीयतृतीयचतुर्थमन्द्रातिस्वार्याः॥२३.१२॥
Namely, kṛṣṭa, first, second, third, fourth, mandra, and atisvārya.

तेषां दीप्तिजोपलब्धिः॥२३.१३॥
Of these, the perception is born of brightness.

द्वितीयप्रथमकृष्टास्त्रय आह्वारकस्वराः॥२३.१४॥
“Second,” “first,” and kṛṣṭa are the three tones of the āhvārakas.

मन्द्रादयो द्वितीयान्ताश्चत्वारस्तैत्तिरीयकाः॥२३.१५॥
mandrādayo dvitīyāntāścatvārastaittirīyakāḥ
The four beginning with mandra and ending with “second” are those of the taittirīyas.

द्वितीयान्मन्द्रस्तैत्तिरीयाणां तृतीयचतुर्थावनन्तरं तच्चतुर्यममित्याचक्षते॥२३.१६॥
According to the taittirīyas, the mandra proceeds from the “second,” and the “third” and “fourth” come next after: this they style the tone-quaternion.

तस्मिन्द्वियमान्तरा वृत्तिः॥२३.१७॥
In it, progression is by intervals of two tones.

तामुपदेक्ष्यामः॥२३.१८॥
That progression we will set forth.

तच्चतुर्यममित्युक्तम्॥२३.१९॥
That is what is called the quaternion of tones.

क्रमिवक्रमसंपन्नामद्रुतामविलम्बिताम्।
नीचोच्चस्वारसंपन्नां वदेद्धृतवतीꣳ समां वदेद्धृतवतीꣳ समामिति॥२३.२०॥
It must be uttered with krama and vikrama, not hurried, not delayed, with grave, acute, and circumflex accent, with pracaya, and even.

॥२४॥
अथ चतस्रः सꣳहिताः॥२४.१॥
Now for the four texts.

पदसꣳहिताक्षरसꣳहिता वर्णसꣳहिताङ्गसꣳहिता चेति॥२४.२॥
Word-text, syllable-text, letter-text, and member-text, namely.

नानापदसंधानसंयोगः पदसꣳहितेत्यभिधीयते॥२४.३॥
Conjuction of independent words by euphonic combination is called word-text.

यथास्वमक्षरसꣳहितादीनामप्येवम्॥२४.४॥
And in like manner with the syllable-text and the rest, in accordance with their several names.

गुरुत्वं लघुता साम्यꣳ ह्रस्वदीर्घप्लुतानि च।
लोपागमविकाराश्च प्रकृतिर्विक्रमः क्रमः॥
स्वरितोदात्तनीचत्वꣳ श्वासो नादो ऽङ्गमेव च।
एतत्सर्वं तु विज्ञेयं छन्दोभाषामधीयता॥२४.५॥
Heaviness, lightness, evenness; short, long, and protracted quantity; elision, increment, and euphonic alteration; natural state, vikrama, krama; circumflex, acute, and grave quality; breath, tone, and adjunction — all this must be understod by him who reads the Veda language.

पदक्रमविशेषज्ञो वर्णक्रमविचक्षणः।
स्वरमात्राविभागज्ञो गछेदाचार्यसꣳसदं गछेदाचार्यसꣳसदमिति॥२४.६॥
He who understands the distinctions of the pada-krama, who is versed in the varṇa-krama, and knows the divisions of accent and quantity, may go and sit with the teachers.
