Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical studyYatidoṣa (यतिदोष) refers to “metrical blemishes” as employed in the Bhīṣmacarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a mahākāvya (‘epic poem’) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.—The presence of the light syllable in the twelfth syllable of the Śārdūlavikrīḍita secures its melody while sung. In the third quarter of the 52nd verse of the fourth canto of the present epic, the twelfth syllable should be light. But it is not so and there is ‘lā’ -a heavy syllable. Apart from this, the yatidoṣas are found in the mālinī metre also employed in the poem in verse V.52. [...] Though some metrical blemishes are found in the poem, our poet has remained successful in deliniating different sentiments appropriately with their bhāvas in the poem. In depicting the heart-touching sentiments like valour, pathos etc., our poet has not remained strictly into a square ped of round hole.
