Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature1) Chandodīpikā (छन्दोदीपिका) is the name of a work ascribed to Kumāramaṇi (1703 C.E.) who belonged to the family of Harivaṃśa and was the son of Harivallabha. He says about his work that, after examining the works of Halāyudha, Śambhu and Vājapeyins, I am composing metres according to the sūtras of Ācārya (i.e. Piṅgala). He also tells that to satisfy his prime deity (iṣṭadeva) and with the permission of his younger brother Vāsudeva, he has collected these metres.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
