This follows Bhoja. - Śā also calls it 'carcari'. The B.P. further reads, following
Bhoja -
vāma-dakṣiņa-sañcārair
angais tat tat pariskṛtam,
(Bhoja has, 'angais tena pariskṛtam) - colikābhidrutam tālam
vādakānām pradarśayet
pañca-ghātaka-samjñārthajanas tasmāt pravartate.
Bhoja has - "choțikābhir", "samjñórthaśchatas tasmāt pravartate."
Dr. Agrawal (pp. 387) explains - Trained in 'sama-carya' with the help of varna and tāla, and adorned with limbs graced with vama and dakṣiņa-samcara, wherein ladies in twos are made to enter, it is called 'Carcarī. And that is termed 'varṇānta' which is mixed with two rāgas called 'ālīḍha', and in which there is exhibition of instrument players encouraged by colikā. So, it is activated by pañca-ghātaka samjñā." We do not know what Dr. Agrawal explains by this. For us, all this is not clear. Dr. Raghavan has also not attempted any explanation.
After this Śā. (p. 387, para 35) reads:
