On an anonymous homistich...
Fortunately, (Janaśraya's) Jānāšrayı Chando-viciti, 4/48 Vattin firnishes us with the remaining liemistich as well, and we thus have the entire verse as follows: tavasya nilot pala patra-caksuso
mukhasya tad-reņu-samana-gandhinah, prasanna-candra-priya-darsanasya mām
adarsanam bhāmini kargayisyati. This verse is an instance of Vaṁsasthas, a twelve-syllable sama-Vertta having ja-ta-ja-ra for its gana-wise scheme.
However, the source of this verse has not been traced as yet. 4. Ed. P. K. Narayana Pillai, Trivandrum Sanskrit Series, No. 163. Trivandrums,
1949, p. 45.. 5 It is a lso known as Vamsasthavila.
