Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literatureChandaḥsudhākara (छन्दःसुधाकर) is the name of a text dealing with Sanskrit prosody (chandas) for which no authorship could be traced (also see “New Catalogus Catalogorum” VII p. 97) . The text Chandaḥsudhākara with a commentary called Jyotsnā by Kṛṣṇapaṇḍita finds a place in the Descriptive Catalogue of Asiatic Society Bengal. However Aufretch gives the author’s name as Kṛṣṇapaṇḍita (not commentator). According to NCC and the Descriptive Catalogue of Asiatic Society, Bengal, Kṛṣṇapaṇḍita is the commentator and not the author.
The author begins the text with description of the metre āryā, which is clarified by Kṛṣṇapaṇḍita in commentary that as āryā is the sarvalaukika metre and before defining the laukika-chandas the metre āryā is explained.
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.
