The stotra is in panchachAmara Chanda, in which there are 16
varna-s per line, each line begins with a laghu and the laghu
and guru varna-s alternate. So there are eight LG (laghu-guru)
pairs, making up 16 syllables of each line.  The last shloka
is in Vasanta-tilakA metre.  Some of the versions of the stotra
carry 15-19 verses.

There are two additional verses seen in some version ##
namAmi pArvatIpatiM namAmi jAhnavIpatiM
     namAmi bhaktavatsalaM namAmi bhAlalochanam |
namAmi chandrashekharaM namAmi duHkhamochanaM

   iti dashakandharavirachitaM shivatANDavastotraM samAptam |
##
Also there are variations, for example, the last line
of verse 12 is also chanted as ##
samapravR^ittikaH kadA sadAshivaM bhajAmyaham || 12|| ## or in 13##
vilolalolalochano ## instead of ## vimuktalolalochano##
Both alternatives are correct and there is no need to
document all kinds of variations seen in different prints.
