[INDOLOGY] query [regarding the correct version of a defectively cited verse]

[Martin Gansten]

Yes, I considered that too but didn't want to emend too much; I'm glad 
to have my suspicions confirmed by Ashok. For completeness, then, let me 
add that while यावच्चन्द्रः प्रभाकरः is certainly possible both metrically 
and with regard to meaning, यावच्चन्द्रप्रभाकरौ strikes me as a very 
plausible alternative.
