I have an issue to report about the results for the following input:

तरुणीवेषोद्दीपितकामा विकसज्जातीपुष्पसुगन्धिः ।
उन्नतपीनपयोधरभारा प्रावृट् तनुते कस्य न हर्षम् ॥ ९० ॥

Can Kosambi be wrong?

upacitra

upacitrā is mentioned only in 1 place

The input verse scans as:

  • taruṇīveṣoddīpitakāmā = LLG-GG-GLL-GG
  • vikasajjātīpuṣpasugandhiḥ | = LLG-GG-GLL-GG (scanned as GL but that's a separate bug and doesn't affect the output)
  • unnatapīnapayodharabhārā = GLL-GLL-GLL-GG
  • prāvṛṭ tanute kasya na harṣam || 90 || GG-LLG-GLL-GG

That is:

LLGGGGLLGG
LLGGGGLLGG
GLLGLLGLLGG
GGLLGGLLGG

This does not match the definition of Upacitrā we have:

["upacitrā", ["LLGLLGLLGLG", "GLLGLLGLLGG"]],

LLGLLGLLGLG
GLLGLLGLLGG
LLGLLGLLGLG
GLLGLLGLLGG

Maybe Kosambi is using a different definition.

The first two lines match gaṇadeha which is 4 lines each LLGGGGLLGG.

We could probably highlight all matches ranked, but I suspect gaṇadeha would still end up on top.

In any case, ideally what we should highlight here is the "4-ness" ("laya" / "madhyagati"), because that's what will help the reader to read this.
