Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

स्वरभेदोऽभिनेतव्यो भिन्नगद्गदनिस्वनैः ।
वेपनात्स्फुरणात्कम्पाद्वेपथुं सम्प्रदर्शयेत्
svarabhedo 'bhinetavyo bhinnagadgadanisvanaiḥ |
vepanātsphuraṇātkampādvepathuṃ sampradarśayet

The line

A break in the voice is to be acted by broken, stammering sounds. From quivering, throbbing, and shaking one should show trembling.

नेपालीमा

स्वरभङ्ग टुटेका, लरबराउने शब्दले अभिनय गरिन्छ। काँप्नु, धड्किनु र हल्लिनुबाट कम्पन देखाउनुपर्छ।

Where it sits

Two signs. Gadgada (गद्गद) is the stammer inside the broken voice.

The quarters run 16, 16 syllables. A hyphen in the split is a compound joint, a teaching mark, and the voice joins it.
