In Hinduism
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume II: Apabhramsa metres (1)Raḍḍā (रड्डा) is another name for Mātrā: the only metre consisting of five lines, as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Mātrā seems to be a very old Apabhraṃśa metre since it was known to Virahāṅka (see Vṛttajātisamuccaya). Piṅgala discusses [the Mātrā metre] under Raḍḍā, and gives seven varieties of it. They are Karahī (13,11,13,11,13), Nandā (14,11,14,11,14), Mohinī (19.11,19,11.19), Cārusenī (15,11,15,11,15), Bhadrā (15.12,15.12.15), Rājasenā (15,12,15,11,15) and Tālaṅkinī (16,12,16,11,16). Chandaḥkośa also does not define the metre independently but only in connection with the strophic metre called Vastu or Raḍḍā and there too gives only one variety (t.e., Piṅgala’s Cārusenī containing 15,11,15,11 and 15 mātrās in its five pādas).
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.
