I could not find definition of this metre. Could someone give the definition, or a reference to it? am.rta is the name of a Prakrit samadvipadii metre consisting of 38 maatraa-s (6 caturmaatra-s, 1 ..sa.nmaatraa, 2 caturmaatra-s) each half; cf. Hemacandra's Chando'nu"saasana 7.50, or, Svaya.mbhuuchanda 6.169 (Prakrit name: amaa.m [here: -aa- = two short a]).
