Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c5.s2.12

c5.s2.12

To this period we should also be inclined on metrical grounds to assign the collection i 127—139, perhaps to be connected with the name of Divodāsa; and the hymns ix 98—111, each of which corresponds to some one of the collections in this class. The collections i 140—164, ii, and v each contain a nucleus of hymns of similar metrical distinctiveness, which may be ascribed to Dīrghatamas, Gṛtsamada, and Atri respectively: but very many of the hymns in these collections are of a more normal character.
