Similarly because in st. 152 the 12-moraic caesura is wanting in the second half only, it is of the faga variety.

There appears no way to remove this discrepancy. But there is some evidence from an unexpected source to make it probable that the name was current for such metres also which had (12+18) morae for each of their two halves, IV, 92 of हरिभद्रसूरि ́s धूर्ताख्यान ' is expressly called खंधओ in IV. 91. The metre of the stanza appears to be identical with that of our stanza, except that both the halves of IV. 92 But this fact is indicative that stanza, because
contain 29 morae instead of 30. of a defect, not a difference, in IV. 92a as well as b have not a as their sixth which fact would be a gross violation of the structure of the .
