बहिर्वा वर्धमाने वा कनिष्ठां न हि दक्षिणे । द्विगुणक्षीर(गुणाक्षर)संयोगादन्यमार्गनियोजनात् ॥ ८१॥

Whether outside the Vardhamāna or within it, the short (bāla) Tāla is never used in the Dakṣiṇa Mārga. This is because, by doubling the syllables (or Kalās) and applying other Mārgas, the Layāntara (tarita) is naturally established.

english translation

नृत्यकालविशेषाच्च बालादन्यल्लयान्तरम् । तृतीया सद्वितीया च प्रथमा चैव तत्कला ॥ ८२॥

Depending on the particular time of the dance, the short (bāla) Tāla gives rise to the Layāntara. In this, the third, the second, and the first parts each retain all their Kalās intact.

english translation

द्विकलं योगमाश्रित्य मध्यमासारितं तु तत् । चतुर्थीमादितः कृत्वा चतस्रः कण्डिका यथा ॥ ८३॥

By adopting a twofold combination, one obtains the medium Āsārita. When the fourth part is taken first, the four parts are arranged in proper order.

english translation

चतुष्कलो न ?? ज्येष्थमासारितं तु तत् । प्रयोगस्तु यदा त्वेषां पिण्डीबन्धैविकल्पते ॥ ८४॥

When the fourfold combination is used, it constitutes the long Āsārita. Their application, however, occurs only in connection with the Piṇḍībandhas.

english translation

प्रत्येकं तु(त्व)ङ्गिन्यासस्तदा तेषां पृथक्पृथक् । मुखं प्रतिमुखं चैव देहसंहरणं तथा ॥ ८५॥

Each of their applications is to be executed distinctly, with each limb treated separately. The Mukha, Pratimukha, Deha, and Saṃharaṇa are to be observed in this order.
