In Hinduism
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature1) 颁奴谤峁嘺办补 (啶氞啶班啶｀) refers to one of the three types of gadya according to Candra艣ekhara鈥檚 V峁泃tamauktika 6.1-2. As the metres are used in padyas, there are also metres, prescribed for gadyas. Candra艣ekhara (author of V峁泃tamauktika) divides the whole 惫腻峁卪补测补 in two groups i.e. padya and gadya. He defines gadya as the composition, which is distracted with 辫腻诲补. He again divides the gadya into three viz. 颁奴谤峁嘺办补, Utkalik膩pr膩ya and V峁泃tagandhi.
Description of 颁奴谤峁嘺办补: The composition which is an assembly of soft words and composed by use of less compound words is called as 肠奴谤峁嘺办补. And it becomes more pleasant if written in 惫补颈诲补谤产丑墨 style (谤墨迟颈). But Candra艣ekhara, goes one step further and implies his views on gadya by dividing the 肠奴谤峁嘺办补 into three viz. 1. 膧viddha肠奴谤峁嘺, 2. Lalita肠奴谤峁嘺, 3. Mugdha肠奴谤峁嘺. The Mugdha肠奴谤峁嘺 is further divided into two i.e. 1. Av峁泃timugdha肠奴谤峁嘺, 2. Atyalpav峁泃timugdha肠奴谤峁嘺..
2) 颁奴谤峁嘺办补 according to the 颁丑补苍诲辞尘补帽箩补谤墨 6.1 by 骋补峁単腻诲腻蝉补 (16th century):鈥擳he composition which is an assembly of soft words and composed by less use of compound words is called as 肠奴谤峁嘺办补. This will be more beautiful if it is written in 惫补颈诲补谤产丑墨 style (谤墨迟颈).
Chandas (啶涏え啷嵿う啶膏) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.
