sa-vipulā anuṣṭubh

[danbalogh]

Our list of permitted metres does not include the sa-vipulā variant of the anuṣṭubh. As far as I know, this vipulā is not recognised by any authority on chandas, but it occurs in some texts frequently enough that at least some modern theoreticians believe it to have been a legitimate variant at least in some circles. I have now run into such a line in one of my texts, where a metrical error is more likely (the same stanza has a grossly unmetrical quarter too), but I see that met="sa-vipulā" has been used in at least one DHARMA file, DHARMA_INSCIK00667.xml, and we may want to legitimise that.

Should I add the sa-vipulā to the list of prosodic patterns?
