Wait, let's look at line 22 again very carefully:
"आक्षिप्ता दूरे प्रेरितास्ते कह्लाराः पुष्पविशेषाः सितोत्पलास्तेषामाक्षेप..."

त े ष ा म ा क ् ष े प
Then:
ा (aa matra on pa? No, pa already has its stem)
Wait, look at the letter:
It has a loop at the bottom, then a vertical bar: that is 'ग'!
Then another vertical bar: that is 'ा'!
Wait, then:
Another letter: with a loop/curve, then a vertical bar: that is 'य'!
Wait, is there an 'ा' on that 'य'?
No, wait! The top bar covers:
त े ष ा म ा क ् ष े प - then the next letters are under the SAME top bar!
WAIT! Look at the top horizontal line (shirorekha):
Does the shirorekha continue after 'प'?
YES!
It continues over:
one letter, two letters, three letters...
Wait! The shirorekha covers:
"...तेषामाक्षेपणाया या वीथी..."?
Wait, where does the word break?
There is NO space between 'प' and the next letters!

...प - letter1 - letter2
