Accordingly, “the evaṃvādyā-jāti should be played with syllables of the gomukhī, and it should have all the strokes of mṛdaṅga; and it should be applied in the pantomime of jugglery by persons with or without disguise, and it should include the syllables like gheṅṭāṇṭādo tadhitā gheṅ gheṅ ghaṭatthi ghaṭa iṅghe. This should be applied in case of the movement of dwarfs, confused persons and lame men and those who have pain in their body and wound in their feet”.
