a. would be a regular Vedic Jagatî line, b. and d. Tris.t.ubh (these two meters are often combined); c. is not quite a regular line.

Best,
Agnes

This should probably not be analysed in terms of classical syllabo-quantitative metres, but in terms of Vedic metre, where the patterns are more loosely defined. See Arnold's Vedic metre on trimeter and combinations of triṣṭubh and jagatī lines within a verse.Arnold, Edward Vernon. 1905. Vedic Metre in Its Historical Development. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp. 11-14, esp. §§54-55.

        Dear friends,

        Has any of you encountered a meter with the following structure:

        a: ja bha ja ra
        b: ya ta ta ga ga
        c: ma ma ya ya
        d: ma ta ta ga ga

        Quarters c and d correspond to vaiśvadevī and śālinī, but a
        and b I cannot identify in Apte, though b seems a variation of
        śālinī with the first syllable laghu.

        Any help appreciated.

        Best wishes,
        Aleksandar
