Metres Gāthā 20-22, 83-84, 88,107,129. Dohā 18-19, 23-24, 26-28, 36-37, 40-42, 45-48, 50-52, 54-57,
60, 72-74, 76, 89, 91 (first half only), 95-99, 106, 108109, 111-112, 115, 121-122, 126, 130-131, 133, 136,
138-150, 154, 157. Soraţthā 49. It seems the order of the Pāda 3 and 4 should be
reversed. That would give the requisite number of Mātrās : 11+13, il+13. In Soratthā usually only a. rhymes with c., but here we would have also b. rhyming
with c. Paddhadi 53 (c is defective : it ends in uuu instead of --- ). Vadanaka 1-6, 8-17, 25, 29-35, 38-39, 43-44, 58-59, 61-71, 75,
77-82, 85-87, 90, 100-105, 110, 114, 116-120, 123-125,
127, 134-135,137, 152-153, 155-156 Şatpada : 7 (six-lined), 92 (two-lined), 93-94 (four-lined).. 99-100 The text is uncertain. The metre of 99 which is two-lined is
Dohā. The metre of 100 which is also two-lined seems to be
Vadanaka. 113. The text is uncertain. The metre of the first two lines seems
to be Paddhadi. Of the next two lines it seems to be Vadanaka. 128. The text is uncertain and seems to be defective. 132. The text is uncertain and defective. The metre seems to be 13
+ 12 (end - uu ). 151. The text is uncetrain. The metre seems to be 13+13, but the
first line with a greater number of mātrās does not scan.
