Notes

↑1. The name of this meter in CK is "kusumitagandha", while in Vr̥t is "kusumitajanma".
↑2. Zoetmulder in Kalangwan (p. 451) incorrectly describes the pattern meter as ⏑⏑⏑|⏑⏓ (less one syllable).
↑3. The meter pattern of śāpāntika is slightly different in CK and Vr̥t. In CK, śāpāntika is presented as ––⏑|⏑⏑⏑|⏑⏓, while in Vr̥t ––⏑|–⏑⏑|⏑⏓.
↑4. In Vr̥t, the name of this meter is vitāna. The metric pattern is also slightly different in both CK and Vr̥t. In CK, vitana is presented as –⏑⏑|–⏑⏑|⏑⏓, while in Vr̥t vitāna has patterns as –⏑⏑|–⏑⏑|–⏓.
↑5. The second and third syllables of any quarter must not be both short in anuṣṭubh.
↑6. This is a variation permitted in any odd line of an anuṣṭubh stanza. In encoding, this metre can only apply to lines, never to stanzas. The second and third syllables of any quarter must not be both short.
↑7. This is a variation permitted in any odd line of an anuṣṭubh stanza. In encoding, this metre can only apply to lines, never to stanzas.
↑8. This is a variation permitted in any odd line of an anuṣṭubh stanza. In encoding, this metre can only apply to lines, never to stanzas.
↑9. This is a variation permitted in any odd line of an anuṣṭubh stanza. In encoding, this metre can only apply to lines, never to stanzas. The second and third syllables of any quarter must not be both short.
↑10. There is no simple way to codify or summarise triṣṭubh because of the degree of variation permitted. See EGD Appendix B, "Vedic trimeter".
↑11. There is no simple way to codify or summarise jagatī because of the degree of variation permitted. See EGD Appendix B, "Vedic trimeter".
↑12. Only mentioned by Apte as a variety of upajāti under Appendix A, I.A.11.3
↑13. The meter kuvalayakusuma in the Vr̥t has the 14 syllables whose the short-long patterns are identical with madhyakṣāmā in Sanskrit while the CK has the 15 syllables of kuvalayakusuma.
↑14. Zoetmulder gives the prosody erroneously as –⏑⏑|–⏑–|⏑⏑⏑|–⏑–|⏑⏑⏑|-⏑-|⏑⏑⏑|⏓ (bha-ra-na-ra-na-ra-na-ga). The 6th gaṇa is correctly -⏑- (ra) as shown in Apte's appendix, in Apte's source (Piṅgala's Chandaḥśāstra 7.26), and confirmed by actual Javanese examples.
↑15. Apte refers to this class as atikr̥ti, not abhikr̥ti.
