Aढ or has five lines, whose constitution varies according to the different varieties (seven according to the PP.) of this metre. But the Ck. knows its one variety only, viz., 15+11+15+11+15. This is of the PP. In the SR. we have this as well as the other variety with the constitution 15+12+15+11+15 (called aar). St.s 18, 19, 25 and 222 are fts while st.s 24 and 223 are gradas.
Regarding the -division of this metre, the PP. gives one scheme,, etc. give another and JACOBI and ALSDORF adopt a third-all different from one another! The -scheme given by the PP. does not work in the case of our stanzas. That given by and others incorporates a different tradition. So the scheme derived by JACOBI (San. pp. 21-24) and ALSDORF (KP. pp. 70-71) from a study of the s occurring in the San. and the KP. is here tried. The structure of our as conforms to that scheme except in one detail. Twice (25c, 223c) we have to assume -fusion in the case of the first two Ts of the third पाद. This can be avoided if 's T-scheme is adopted. The odd पादs :
