In the third beat, the beat is to be made at the place of the little and ring fingers; In the fourth, the staff is struck down, and in the fifth, the middle finger is moved out.
The sixth beat is to be known as the one where the index finger is moved out; The eighth is marked by a strike of the staff, and the ninth is considered a fractional beat (kalā).
कनिष्ठिकाप्रवेशस्तु दशमी तु कला भवेत् । निष्क्रामश्चैव तर्जन्यास्तदनन्तरमिश्यते ॥ ४९॥
The tenth is the entry of the little finger and is regarded as a fractional beat (kalā); Thereafter, the movement out of the index finger is considered.
सन्निपातस्तथा ते च कलाद्वादशकं भवेत् । एषतो वापविक्षेपव्यवधानश्च पण्डितैः ॥ ५०॥
The combination (of all finger movements) is said to make up twelve kalās (fractions of a tāla); Thereafter come the withdrawal, the spreading, and the pause—according to the learned.
