󲹲Ի岹ḥkś (छन्दःकोश) is the name of a text dealing with Sanskrit prosody (chandas) for which no authorship could be traced. Usually the authors mention their names, parentage etc. in the colophon of their works. But there are certain works in which, the author leaves no impression of his identity.

󲹲Ի岹ḥkś (छन्दःकोश) is the name of a work ascribed to Ratnaśekhara.—Both the Prākṛta Piṅgala and 󲹲Ի岹ḥkś treat mainly of the Apabhraṃśa metres and are composed for the most part in the Apabhraṃśa language. 󲹲Ի岹ḥkś manuscripts are available in many libraries. Both the Prākṛta Piṅgala and the 󲹲Ի岹ḥkś appear to have been composed towards the close of the 14th century A. D., but the 󲹲Ի岹ḥkś is perhaps the earlier of the two.
