Madraka falls in the 膧k峁泃墨 class of chandas (rhythm-type), which implies that verses constructed with this metre have four 辫腻诲补s (鈥榝oot鈥� or 鈥榪uarter-verse鈥�) containing twenty-two syllables each.

4) Madraka also refers to one of the ten kinds of 诲丑谤耻惫腻 (鈥渟辞苍驳蝉鈥�) defined in the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra chapter 32. Accordingly, 鈥淪ongs consisting of one, two, three and four vastus are respectively called the Dhruv膩, Parig墨tik膩, Madraka and Catu峁ad膩. The 诲丑谤耻惫腻 is so called, because in it words, 惫补谤峁嘺蝉, 补濒补峁僰腻谤补, tempo (laya), 箩腻迟颈 and 辫腻峁噄蝉 are regularly (诲丑谤耻惫补峁�) connected with one another鈥�.

[...] Next the concept of 驳墨迟补办补 is described. The varieties of 驳墨迟补办补 [such as madraka] are explained followed by a description of ekakala-madraka.
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya鈥攖heatrics, 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).
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraMadraka (啶う啷嵿ぐ啶�) refers to a country belonging to 鈥淯ttaratas or Uttarade艣a (northern division)鈥� classified under the constellations of 艢atabhi峁j, P奴rvabh膩drapada and Uttarabh膩drapada, according to the system of 碍奴谤尘补惫颈产丑腻驳补, according to the B峁沨atsa峁僪it膩 (chapter 14), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Var膩hamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyoti峁).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he countries of the Earth beginning from the centre of Bh膩ratavar峁 and going round the east, south-east, south, etc., are divided into 9 divisions corresponding to the 27 lunar asterisms at the rate of 3 for each division and beginning from K峁泃tik膩. The constellations of 艢atabhi峁j, P奴rvabh膩drapada and Uttarabh膩drapada represent the northern division consisting of [i.e., Madraka] [...]鈥�.

Sa峁単墨tan膩r膩ya峁嘺, Vol. I, p.310 where Kohala mentions three types of 骋墨迟补办补[i.e., sama, ardhasama and 惫颈峁尘补]. The mention of Bharata in that extract is more confusing because N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra does not mention sama, ardhasama or 惫颈峁尘补-驳墨迟补办补s.
Gitashastra (啶椸啶むざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 驳墨迟补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music).

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
