Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)

վ峾 (विदा�) refers to a variety of ٳ: one of the oldest Prakrit meters probably developed out of the epic Anuṣṭubh, as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Among the metres derived from the ٳ, Gīti, Upagīti and Udgīti are most important. [...] By adding 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 ٳٰܰ before the last long letter in the first half of a ٳ, we respectively get a Jātiphala, Gātha, Udgātha, Vigātha, Avagātha, Saṃgātha, Upagātha and Gāthinī. If more than 14 ٳٰܰ are so added, the metre is called Mālāgātha. In a similar manner, we get Dāma, Uddāma, վ峾, Avadāma, Saṃdāma, Upadāma and Mālādāma by the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 or more ٳٰܰ respectively, before the last long letter in the first half of a Jātiphala.
