In Hinduism
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)1) Lambitā (लम्बित�) is the name of a ٳṣp徱 metre (as popularly employed by the Apabhraṃśa bards), as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Lambitā has 22 ٰ in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, [ISI], 4, [ISI] and 4 ٰ.
2) Lambitā (लम्बित�) is another ٳṣp徱 metre having 22 ٰ in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, 4, 4, 4 and 4 ٰ, where the 3rd and the 5th ٳٰܰ must not be of the [ISI] type—this is just the opposite of Vṛttajātisamuccaya—cf. Hemacandra p. 31a.

Chandas (छन्दस्) 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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramLambitā (लम्बित�) refers to “that (garland) which hangs down (from one’s neck)�, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] (He has) a garland made of sacred gems that hangs down () (from his neck) to the soles of (his) feet. In the midst of the Vaḍava Fire, he is delighted by the bliss of his own energy. Within the womb of the Vaḍava Fire in the Transmental within the Circle of Brahmā, he is successful by means of the Yoga of the Vaḍava (Fire) which is Stillness�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Lambita (लम्बित) refers to one of the various “ornaments for the ears or nose�, classified under the heading Āhārya (“ornaments�), according to the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa (Vol. II, p.482) and the Saṅgītārṇavacandrika (1995: p.219). Puruṣottama Miśrā first makes a general classification of ornaments (ⲹ); then he gives the definitions for each along with a few examples. This is followed by the names of ornaments that are to be worn on different body parts. [...] Puruṣottama Miśra lists out all these ornaments [e.g., Lambita] and then says that each of these ornaments has been described in detail in the work ‘Kohalīya�. And therefore, he says, he shall not be venturing to do the same for fear that his work will become too unwieldy in size.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
