Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)Ripucchandas (啶班た啶啶氞啶涏え啷嵿う啶膏) refers to a variation 骋墨迟颈, which itself is a variety of 骋腻迟丑腻: one of the oldest Prakrit meters probably developed out of the epic Anu峁ａ弓ubh, as discussed in books such as the Chandonu艣膩sana, Kavidarpa峁嘺, V峁泃taj膩tisamuccaya and Svayambh奴chandas.鈥擜mong the metres derived from the 骋腻迟丑腻, 骋墨迟颈, Upag墨ti and Udg墨ti are most important. 骋墨迟颈 is made with two first halves of a 骋腻迟丑腻. [...] When a 辫补帽肠补尘腻迟谤补 is substituted for the 肠补迟耻谤尘腻迟谤补 which stands in the 7th place (i.e., for 尘腻迟谤腻蝉 25-28) in each half of a 骋墨迟颈, it is called Ripucchandas.
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.
