Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)鲍辫补诲腻尘补 (啶夃お啶︵ぞ啶�) refers to 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, G墨ti, Upag墨ti and Udg墨ti are most important. [...] By adding 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 肠补迟耻谤尘腻迟谤补蝉 before the last long letter in the first half of a 骋腻迟丑腻, we respectively get a J膩tiphala, G膩tha, Udg膩tha, Vig膩tha, Avag膩tha, Sa峁僩膩tha, Upag膩tha and G膩thin墨. If more than 14 肠补迟耻谤尘腻迟谤补蝉 are so added, the metre is called M膩l膩g膩tha. In a similar manner, we get D膩ma, Udd膩ma, Vid膩ma, Avad膩ma, Sa峁僤膩ma, 鲍辫补诲腻尘补 and M膩l膩d膩ma by the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 or more 肠补迟耻谤尘腻迟谤补蝉 respectively, before the last long letter in the first half of a J膩tiphala.
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.
