• If there be room to d ubt whether the metre be reduced from 

 the next aljove, or raised from the next below, the iirst verse deter- 

 mines the questiijn ; for it is referred to the ch.ss to which the first 

 y^vse or pdda belongs. If this lio not suffice, the metre is referred 

 to that class, which is sacred to the deity, to v. horn the prayer is ad- 

 dressed. Should this also be insutlicient, other rules of selection 

 have been provided. Sometimes the metre is eked out by substitu- 

 ting i//a or uva for correspondent vowels. This in particular, ap- 

 pears to be practised in the Samnvedal
