Abhinavavṛttaratnākara (अभिनववृत्तरत्नाकर) ascribed to Bhāskara is the name of a text dealing with Sanskrit prosody (chandas) for which period of their composition is not known. The Abhinavavṛttaratnākara is written in the imitation of Vṛttaratnākara of Kedāra. The text has three commentaries viz. 1. Anonymous, 2. by Bhāskararāya, and 3. by Śrīnivāsa. Also see NCCNew Catalogus Catalogorum I. p. 306.

The Abhinavavṛttaratnākara is divided into six chapters being called as taraṅgas viz.

1. Upoddhāta,
2. Chandovibhāga,
3. Samajāti-nirūpaṇa,
4. Ardhasamamātrājāti-nirūpaṇa,
5. Viṣamajāti-nirūpaṇa,
6. Gāthā-nirūpaṇa.

Bhāskara remembers Śeṣa in the invocatory verse of the work and says the entire composition is based on Piṅgala and the rest is nothing but only the explanation on guru and laghu. Bhāskara also says: “the chanda that separates letters (akṣara) and numbers (saṃkhyā) and
the sound (svara) is of two types, viz. guru and laghu”. This is his unique interpretation on guru and laghu, comparing them with sound and he gives entire credit of literary world to laghu and guru.

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.
