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).“

a. would be a regular Vedic Jagatî line, b. and d. Tris.t.ubh (these two meters are often combined); c. is not quite a regular line.

Best,

This should probably not be analysed in terms of classical syllabo-quantitative metres, but in terms of Vedic metre, where the patterns are more loosely defined. See Arnold's Vedic metre on trimeter and combinations of triṣṭubh and jagatī lines within a verse.Arnold, Edward Vernon. 1905. Vedic Metre in Its Historical Development. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp. 11-14, esp. §§54-55.

Dear friends, 

Has any of you encountered a meter with the following structure: 

a: ja bha ja ra
b: ya ta ta ga ga
c: ma ma ya ya
d: ma ta ta ga ga

Quarters c and d correspond to vaiśvadevī and śālinī, but a and b I cannot identify in Apte, though b seems a variation of śālinī with the first syllable laghu.

Any help appreciated.

Best wishes,
Aleksandar
