ñī峾 (काञ्चीदा�) is the name of metre similair to Āyāmaka which, both classified as Dvipadi (metres with two lines in a stanza) discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Āyāmaka has 33 ٰ in each of their two lines, made up by 7 ٳٰܰ and 1 貹ñٰ at the end. The yati in this is not mentioned and this means that it is the usual one coming after the 8th ٰ, the initial beat of the being on the 1st ٰ.—When on the other hand, the initial beat is shifted from the first to the 3rd, 5th and 7th ٰ, and consequently the initial yati is shifted from the 8th to the 10th, 12th and the 14th ٰ, the same Āyāmaka is called respectively, ñī峾, Raśanādāma and Cuḍāmaṇi. The preposition �upa� is prefixed to the names of these four metres, if their lines are formed with 1 ṣaṇmٰ, 6 ٳٰܰ, and 1 ٰٰ, instead of the usual 7 ٳٰܰ and 1 貹ñٰ.

“[...] Taking their families and all their retinue and ascending the best of cars, they went to Vaitāḍhya. [...] Ten yojanas above the earth, King Nami made fifty cities on the mountain in a southern row [viz., ñ峾]. Nami himself lived in Śrīrathanūpuracakravāla, the capital city among these cities. [...] The two rows of Vidyādhara-cities looked very magnificent, as if the Vyantara rows above were reflected below. After making many villages [viz., ñ峾] and suburbs, they established communities according to the suitability of place. The communities there were called by the same name as the community from which the men had been brought and put there. [...]�.
