Dear Harry,
Vaṁśīdhara in his comment on the first verse writes: kanakamañjarī naś ca rau lagau iti sūtrāt. The definition scans right, so to his mind the meter is Kanakamañjarī. I don’t know which sūtra he has in mind.
Best wishes,
Aleksandar

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Metre of gopī-gītamDear list members,
Can anyone identify the meter of the gopī-gītam (Bhāgavata X, chapter 31).See this link: https://iskcondesiretree.com/page/gopi-gita
It is 11 syllable's per line but as far as I can see it is different from the 11 syllable metres in Apte's dictionaries appendix.Thanks,Harry Spier
