चतुरर्धकलं वा स्यात् तदर्धकलमेव च । अवस्थान्तरमासाद्य कुर्याद् गतिविचेष्टितम् ॥ ३१॥
The duration of the gait may be four, two, one, or even half a Kalā; upon a change of condition, the gait should be suitably adjusted.

Here, the gait of the superior is four Kalās, that of the middling is two Kalās, and that of the inferior is one Kalā.

कलिकं मध्यमे यत्र नीचेष्वर्धकलं भवेत् । एवमर्धार्धहीनं तु जडानां सम्प्रयोजयेत् ॥ ३३॥
Where the gait of the middling is one Kalā, that of the inferior should be half a Kalā; thus, half and quarter measures are applied for the dull or heavy characters.

english translation
शृङ्गारे चैव शोके च स्वच्छन्दगमने तथा । गतिः स्थितलया कार्याधिकलान्तरपातिता ॥ ३५॥
