1) Lambitā (लम्बिता) is the name of a catuṣpadi metre (as popularly employed by the Apabhraṃśa bards), as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Lambitā has 22 mātrās in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, [ISI], 4, [ISI] and 4 mātrās.

2) Lambitā (लम्बिता) is another catuṣpadi metre having 22 mātrās in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, 4, 4, 4 and 4 mātrās, where the 3rd and the 5th caturmātras must not be of the [ISI] type—this is just the opposite of Vṛttajātisamuccaya—cf. Hemacandra p. 31a.
