Arya Capala, Ariya

The Āryā Capalā is a kind of Āryā, but with a much more restricted opening. First I illustrate the Mahācapalā which has the same restrictions in both lines, so that the shape of the verse looks like this:

1^st	2^nd	3^rd	4^th	5^th	6^th	7^th	8^th
−− ⏑⏑−	⏑−⏑	−−	⏑−⏑	−− −⏑⏑	⏑−⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

1^st	2^nd	3^rd	4^th	5^th	6^th	7^th	8^th
−− ⏑⏑−	⏑−⏑	−−	⏑−⏑
−− −⏑⏑	⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

That gives the following possibilities for the first line: 2 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 2 × 2 × 4 × 1, and they may be pathyā or vipulā, so that gives 32 metres; the second line has the following possibilities: 2 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 2 × 1 × 4 × 1, and they may be pathyā or vipulā, so that gives 16 metres.

Some times the Capalā occurs in the 1st line and the Pathyā in the 2nd, in which case it is known as Mukhacapalā:

1^st	2^nd	3^rd	4^th	5^th	6^th	7^th	8^th
−− ⏑⏑−	⏑−⏑	−−	⏑−⏑
−− −⏑⏑	⏑−⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

1^st	2^nd	3^rd	4^th	5^th	6^th	7^th	8^th
−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− ⏑−⏑ −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− ⏑−⏑ −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

The possibilities are then: 32 × 6,400, which means there are a possible 204,800 metres in the Mukhcapalā series.

1^st	2^nd	3^rd	4^th	5^th	6^th	7^th	8^th
−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− ⏑−⏑ −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− ⏑−⏑ −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	⏑−⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

−− ⏑⏑−	⏑−⏑	−−	⏑−⏑
−− −⏑⏑	⏑	−− ⏑⏑− −⏑⏑ ⏑⏑⏑⏑	−

The possibilities are then: 16 × 12,800, which means there are also a possible 204,800 metres in the Jaghanacapalā series.
