For tOTaka vRtta, the breaks occur as eight and four, i.e., [IIU IIU II]
[U IIU]
famous example: vEMkaTESa suprabhAtaM. The first and four donot exactly

This metre is generally called upajAti, a mixture of two metres. There are
14 ways of mixing the two. There are individual names for these. This
offers
a fixture with a variety. Kalidasa wrote whole cantos of this metre.
