Just a couple of notes on the exceptions being discussed here:
1. In the kumaarasambhava verse, mallinaatha opts the version
"patyudgamaniiya-vastraa".
2. In shishupaalavadha, the mentioned verse is:
"praapya naabhihrada-majjanamaashu prasThitam
nivasana-grahaNaaya" (first half). Here, in "naabhihrada-...", "bhi"
is laghu despite being followed by "hra" and hence is an example of the
exception.
(Name of this chhandas is 'sammata')
Thanks !

amR^ita.m kShIrabhojanam..|
The laghu guru pattern of
amR^ita.m mallikaagandhaM (3rd paada)
1 1 2 2 1 2 2 2
Though the fifth syllable is lli it is a short vowel.
The effect of the joint consonant goes to the preceding letter ma.
Please look at the third paada of the 2nd shloka Canto 1 of Raghuvamsa.
titiirSuH dustaraM mOhAT
1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2
The firth letter sta though a joint letter it is a laghu (a short vowel). The effect
of its being joint letter goes to the previous letter du.
I hope the explanation is clear.
Now just how I tried to give the answer to the quizz.
The first relates to the indriya of skin.(tvak)
The second relates to the indriya of sight (chakSu)
The fourth relates to the indriya of taste (jihvaa)
So I wanted the third paada to relate to another indriya say ghraaNa - so gandhaM. I
tried several words like kastuuri and so on. Only mallikaa fitted.

Vis Tekumalla:

antara~Nga.m = heart/soul; sa = that; sneha = love/affection; iti = as; kathyate = is
said
Where seeing, touching, or listening to, or conversing (with the other person) melts
(your) heart, it is said to be love/affection.
That is love when some sees, touches, hears from or talks to one, whereby the heart
melts.-----PK Ramakrishnan

Fun Question
8. jayadevakR^ita gItAgovinda kAvye kati pAtrANi santi? teShA.m na nAmAni ke? tad
kAvye kati aShTapadyaH santi?
(How many characters are in Jayadeva's Gitagovindam? What are their names? How many
ashtapadi songs are in that poetic work?)
Vis Tekumalla:
gItAgovinda kAvye kevala.m trINi pAtrANi santi - rAdhA-kR^iShNau cha sakhI cha. yathA
tad madhura gIta.m -
nindati chandana-mindukiraNa-manu vindati kheda-madhIram |

..............................................................
sA virahe tava dInA
- sakhyAH gItameva. tad kAvye dvAdasha (12) sargAH, chatush-vi.mshati (24)
aShTapadyaH cha santi.
In Gitagovindam there are only three characters - Radha, Krishna, and Sakhi. For
example, it is Sakhi who sings that lovely song
'nindati-chandana-mindu-kiraNa-manuvindati khedam-adheeram......saa virahe tava
deenaa.' In that poetic work, there are twelve (12) cantos and twenty-four (24)
ashtapadi songs.
PK Ramakrishnan:
There are 24 ashtapadies.
Characters. 13.
1. saamodadaamodarah
2. akleshakeshavaH
3. mugdhamadhusuudanaH
4. snigdhamadhusuudanaH
5. saakaangkSpundariikaakSaH
6. dhanyavaikunTakumkumaH
7. naaganaaraayaNah

9. mugdhamukundaH
10. chatura chaturbhujaH
11. saanandadaamodaraH
12. supriitapiitambaraH
13. raadhaa or raadhikaa
I am not sure whether the 10 avataraas are to be treated as characters. They are not
included.

Shouldn't it be
priyArAmA hi sarvathA vaidehyAsIt
^
meaning, Vaidehi (Sita) was, by all means (in every way), a lover of
gardens/groves, isn't it?
- Sai.
