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 rab: ya ta ta ga gac: ma ma ya yad: 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
