Then the Tāla is to be shown, followed by the fifth, which is the Śamyā. The sixth is the Praveśa, to be performed with the thumb, and it is to be shown using the index finger.
At the end of the Niṣkrāma and Sannipāta, there should always be eight Kalās. This is the method of indicating the variation in the dropping of Kalās in a Yuga, performed through fingers.
कनिष्ठाङ्गुलिनिष्क्रामः प्रथमे तु कले भवेत् । शम्यापातो द्वितीया च तृतीया ताल एव च ॥ ४४॥
In the first Kalā, the little finger (kaniṣṭhāṅguli) should move out (niṣkrāma); the second is the dropping (āpāta) of the rod (śamya); and the third is the beat (tāla) itself.
There, the fourth is with the Śamyā, The fifth with the forefinger in succession, And the sixth is the combined strike— This is the method of the six-beat measure.
