The list of ornaments runs on. anukti-siddhi is a point carried home without being spoken outright — it lands by implication. sārūpya is likeness, matching one thing to another. mālā, 'the garland', is a strung series where one item leads into the next. madhura-bhāṣaṇa is sweet, gracious speech.
अनुक्ति-सिद्धि, सारूप्य, माला और मधुर-भाषण — नाट्य-वाणी के ये चार अलंकार हैं।
These four are ornaments 30–33 of the ṣaṭ-triṁśat bhūṣaṇāni — the Nāṭyaśāstra's thirty-six lakṣaṇas ('marks' or beauties of dramatic diction) — begun at 8.17 and completed in the next line.
ये चार छत्तीस भूषणों (लक्षणों — नाट्य-वाणी की शोभाओं) में से तीसवें से तैंतीसवें भूषण हैं। इनकी गणना ८.१७ से आरम्भ हुई थी और अगली पंक्ति में पूरी होती है।

pṛcchopadiṣṭa-dṛṣṭānipṛcchā, upadiṣṭa, dṛṣṭa — 'the question, the thing taught, the thing shown': the last three ornaments (34th–36th) a three-member dvandva (pṛcchā-upadiṣṭa-dṛṣṭa), neuter plural agreeing with bhūṣaṇāni; not one ornament but three named togetherपृच्छा (प्रश्न), उपदिष्ट (उपदेश) और दृष्ट (साक्षात् दर्शन) — ये तीन भूषण (भूषणानि के साथ नपुंसक बहुवचन में)
ṣaḍ-triṁśad-bhūṣaṇānimake thirty-six ornaments in all — the full set with which the play's body is to be adornedछत्तीस भूषण (नाट्य-वाणी के अलंकार)
hiindeed — sealing the count: so the tally comes out complete at thirty-six confirming particle closing the enumerationइस प्रकार निश्चय ही (गणना को पक्का करने वाला शब्द)
pṛcchā-upadiṣṭa-dṛṣṭa — the question, the thing taught, the thing shown (the final three); ṣaṭ-triṁśat bhūṣaṇāni hi — these, indeed, are the thirty-six ornaments in all
pṛcchopadiṣṭa-dṛṣṭāni — पृच्छा-उपदिष्ट-दृष्ट (ये तीन); ṣaḍ-triṁśad-bhūṣaṇāni — छत्तीस भूषण; hi — निश्चय ही।
And the last three: pṛcchā, a pointed question; upadiṣṭa, what is taught or pointed out; and dṛṣṭa, what is shown or established by observation. With these the ornaments come to thirty-six in all — the complete set announced at 8.16, with which the body of the drama is to be adorned.
पृच्छा, उपदिष्ट और दृष्ट — इन तीनों के साथ छत्तीस भूषण निश्चय ही पूरे हो जाते हैं।
This line closes the roster: pṛcchā (34), upadiṣṭa (35), dṛṣṭa (36). Counting from 8.17 — bhūṣaṇa, akṣara-saṅghāta … through this line — the tally comes out at exactly the ṣaṭ-triṁśat ('thirty-six') promised at 8.16.
यह पंक्ति सूची को समाप्त करती है — पृच्छा (चौंतीसवाँ), उपदिष्ट (पैंतीसवाँ), दृष्ट (छत्तीसवाँ)। ८.१७ से — भूषण, अक्षर-संघात आदि से — इस पंक्ति तक गिनने पर संख्या ठीक छत्तीस बैठती है, जिसका वचन ८.१६ में दिया गया था।

anukti-siddhiḥ, sārūpyaṁ, mālā, madhura-bhāṣaṇam, pṛcchopadiṣṭa-dṛṣṭāni (iti) — (ete saha) ṣaṭ-triṁśat bhūṣaṇāni hi (bhavanti)।
anukti-siddhi (a point carried home without being spoken outright), sārūpya (likeness, the matching of one thing to another), mālā (the garland-series, where one item leads into the next), and madhura-bhāṣaṇa (sweet, gracious speech); and then pṛcchā (a pointed question), upadiṣṭa (what is taught or pointed out), and dṛṣṭa (what is shown or established by observation) — with these the ornaments come, indeed, to thirty-six in all.
अनुक्ति-सिद्धि (बिना स्पष्ट कहे ही अर्थ का सिद्ध हो जाना), सारूप्य (एक वस्तु का दूसरी के सदृश वर्णन), माला (एक ही बात का लड़ी के समान क्रमिक कथन), मधुर-भाषण (मीठी, प्रिय वाणी), तथा पृच्छा (प्रश्न), उपदिष्ट (उपदेश) और दृष्ट (साक्षात् दर्शन) — इन सबके साथ नाट्य-वाणी के भूषण निश्चय ही छत्तीस पूरे हो जाते हैं।
The closing kārikā of the ornament-roster: it names the last seven of the ṣaṭ-triṁśat bhūṣaṇāni (the Nāṭyaśāstra's thirty-six lakṣaṇas of dramatic diction), sealing the count begun at 8.17 at exactly thirty-six.
यह कारिका शेष अलंकारों को गिनाकर नाट्य-वाणी के छत्तीस भूषणों की गणना को पूर्ण करती है।
