विधिरेष एव कृत्स्नः पुनस्तृतीयेऽपि सन्निपाते तु । पुनरेवैषामङ्गुलिविक्षेपान् सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि ॥ १६६॥

This same rule is to be applied in its entirety, even in the third Sannipāta. Again, I shall explain the finger gestures (Vikṣepas) of these.

english translation

पूर्वं शम्या तथावापो निष्क्रामश्च ततः पुनः । विक्षेपोऽथ पुनस्तालः पुनरावाप एव च ॥ १६७॥

First, Śamyā is to be performed, followed by Niṣkrāma, then again Vikṣepa, then Tāla, and then Āvāpa.

english translation

अनामिकाकनीयस्योर्निष्क्रामश्च पुनस्ततः। ताभ्यामेव हि विक्षेपः शम्या चावाप एव च ॥ १६८॥

After the movement (Niṣkrāma) of the ring and little fingers, the Vikṣepa (throwing or outward movement) is to be performed with these two fingers alone, along with the Śamyā and Āvāpa movements.

english translation

मध्यमायां ततस्तालो विक्षेपोऽथ प्रवेशनम् । आवापश्च पुनः कार्यस्तर्जनीनिष्क्रमः पुनः ॥ १६९॥

In the medium Āsārita, next comes the Tāla, followed by the Vikṣepa (throwing movement) and then the Praveśa (inward movement). After this, the Āvāpa (downward movement) is to be performed, followed again by the Niṣkrāma (outward movement) with the index finger.

english translation

विक्षेपश्च पुनः कार्यः सन्निपातस्तथैव व । कलाः सप्तदशैवैताः सन्निपातो भवेदयम् ॥ १७०॥

Then again comes the Vikṣepa (throwing movement), and the Sannipāta (clapping or confluence of beats) is also to be performed in the same way. These Kalās (beats) amount to seventeen, and this constitutes the Sannipāta.
