Dear Christophe and Tim:

Thank you both so much for pointing me to the right place. This is wonderful, and shows what a great resource Indology is. Thanks again and keep safe.

Dear Patrick,

[with a confusing typo corrected]

The text referred to should be the Piṅgalacchandaḥsūtram, which is printed and discussed in this volume:
https://archive.org/details/pingalachandasutraastudyasokechatterjeesastrichandas_202003_76/mode/2up<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fpingalachandasutraastudyasokechatterjeesastrichandas_202003_76%2Fmode%2F2up&data=02%7C01%7Cchristophe.vielle%40uclouvain.be%7C8af02c3b63aa4369978f08d84a2c1394%7C7ab090d4fa2e4ecfbc7c4127b4d582ec%7C0%7C0%7C637340900453371860&sdata=AsNZ3O4OBQwNub1Pl5XBE1qUQ5cDBV8JSks%2BauD7gn0%3D&reserved=0>

8.1 of the text begins: atrānuktaṃ gāthā (p. 11 of the book).  I don’t see the pratīka quoted by Medhātithi, but another book
https://archive.org/details/OriginAndDevelopementOfSanskritMetrics/page/n51/mode/2up<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2FOriginAndDevelopementOfSanskritMetrics%2Fpage%2Fn51%2Fmode%2F2up&data=02%7C01%7Cchristophe.vielle%40uclouvain.be%7C8af02c3b63aa4369978f08d84a2c1394%7C7ab090d4fa2e4ecfbc7c4127b4d582ec%7C0%7C0%7C637340900453381817&sdata=Y2eD8a%2BQCEcrL0SYKV1cK%2B6PrjRcRr7Ab6Ymx2cfmyk%3D&reserved=0>
says on p. 37 that the phrase atrāsiddhaṃ gāthā used of gāthās not accepted in a particular tradition, while those which are accepted are anūktaṃ in that tradition (if I understand correctly).  I hope this clue leads somewhere.

Best,
Tim

Friends:

I hope someone can lead me in the right direction in identifying this citation given by Medhātithi (on MDh 9.42) from Piṅgala:

yathoktaṃ piṅgalena: "atrāsiddhaṃ gāthā” iti |

With thanks,

Patrick
