c15.65

(ii) Kakubh-Satoṛhatī strophes are found in triplets in viii 19–21, 22 7–18, with the following irregularities; in viii 19 we find an extended strophe (12.8.12.8.12.8) as 26–27, and 37 as it stands is Paṅkti, though by rearrangement of the words Satoṛhatī may be restored; and in viii 22 stanza 7 is Bṛhatī, stanza 8 is Anuṣṭubh, and stanza 12 of the type 12.8.12.12. Another such triplet is probably to be found in viii 103 8–13, although stanza 10 is in the text only Gāyatrī; and in ix 108 stanzas 1–6 and 7–12 are probably triplets.
