The pṛthvī metre.  
O woman with hair black as bees, if the second, the sixth, the eighth, the twelfth, / and the fourteenth, O beloved, is heavy, O pool of a deep navel, / then that next to the fifteenth, where, O beloved, a caesura / occurs by the foremost mountains and the serpent-bearer races, O fair-browed one, that indeed is the pṛthvī. || 41
