Bhujaṅgavijṛmbhita (भुजङ्गविजृम्भित) is the name of a metre similair to Svapnaka: an Apabhraṃśa metre classified as Dvipadi (metres with two lines in a stanza) discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Svapnaka has 34 mātrās in each of their two lines, formed by 8 caturmātras and 1 dvimātra at the end. No special yati is prescribed, which means that it is after the 8th mātrā, or that it is the usual one. When this yati is shifted from the 8th to the 10th, the 12th, the 14th and the 16th mātrās, the same Svapnaka gets the names of Apsaraḥkusuma, Bhujaṅgavijṛmbhita, Tārādhruvaka, and Navaraṅgaka, respectively.
