If this is so, stanza 1 diverges by having a full dimeter verse, and stanzas 3 and 4 diverge by having trimeter verses in the third place, whilst stanza 6 has a dimeter verse in the fourth place. 2c which contains nine syllables must in any case be emended. In addition we have two irregular forms of Triṣṭubh verse, 1b being hypersyllabic (§ 224), and 1d having a double rest (§ 226).
