(iii) In Trimeter verse occasions for restoration occur chiefly either at the end of verses in lyric metres (not in Jagatī), or in the earlier part of lyric and Triṣṭubh verses. Many of the latter are found in hymns in decasyllabic Triṣṭubh metre, and these may also be interpreted as decasyllabic Triṣṭubh verses: the few cases in which restoration of -aam would produce in such hymns an irregular rhythm are omitted from the list.
