[Upajāti There are 14 possible types of Upajāti metre having a mixture of Indravajrā and Upendravajrā lines, all of which have been given names. The example verse is a variety called Bhadrā. Upajāti may consist of a mixture of other metres also, including ones that are not 11 syllables in length. So that, for example, we may find a verse consisting of one line each of Indravajrā, Upendravajrā, Vaṁśasthā, & Vasantatilakā - still the verse would be known as Upajāti.⁰³ = 11 syllables]

[Ākhyānakī Ākhyānakī is normally counted as an Ardhasamavtta, having the structure of Indravajrā in the 1^st and 3^rd lines, and Upendravajrā in the 2^nd and 4^th . Here the definition is slightly different with the 1^st line being Indravajrā, and the rest are defined as Upendravajrā.⁰⁴ = 11 syllables]
