<lg n="1" met="vaṁśamālā"><!--

Bhandarkar notes that the metre is faulty in the first and third pādas, where the first syllable should be short. I disagree and see the stanza as a 12-syllable (jagatī-type) upajāti (for which I use the name vaṁśamālā) rather than a vaṁśastha. (Agrawala simply lists it as an upajāti, which is a bit misleading since one would think of triṣṭubh upajāti, but his consideration is probably the same as mine.)

Note the vowel saṁdhi between pādas c and d - not quite sure if and how this should be marked up.

The stanza may in fact be a gīti rather than āryā, which is probably why Agrawala puts a query next to the metre name. Bhandarkar just marks it up as āryā. The length of the lacuna is my estimate based on the assumption that it's āryā (and on the fact that Bhandarkar prints 8 dots for it). The actual physical extent of the damage may be a clue to whether we have an āryā or a gīti here. Sircar conjectures krama-gaṇite for the lacuna, which seems unmetrical to me unless we go by the assumption that kr does not count as a double consonant. Bühler 1891:222 suggests restoring vigaṇanayā.

Bhandarkar offers no conjecture for the beginning of this pāda and reads (a) as the first vowel. Agrawala proposes spardhārtham and cites Sircar as proposing sārthartham, which seems unlikely.
