[INDOLOGY] help with meter

[Walter Slaje]

On this passage and its metre cp. Thomas Oberlies, *Die
Śvetāśvatara-Upaniṣad Einleitung – Edition und Übersetzung von Adhyāya I*.
In: WZKS 39 (1995), pp. 61–102.

See p. 88: „/a/ Jāgatī-Pāda – /c/ Cod. °*ābhidhyānād*: °*ābhidhyānād*, *da
die 3. Silbe kurz zu messen ist* (vgl. Smith 1951: 15n.2).“
