In Hinduism
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)1) Lambitā (लम्बिता) is the name of a catuṣpadi metre (as popularly employed by the Apabhraṃśa bards), as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Lambitā has 22 mātrās in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, [ISI], 4, [ISI] and 4 mātrās.
2) Lambitā (लम्बिता) is another catuṣpadi metre having 22 mātrās in each of its four lines, divided into the groups of 2, 4, 4, 4, 4 and 4 mātrās, where the 3rd and the 5th caturmātras must not be of the [ISI] type—this is just the opposite of Vṛttajātisamuccaya—cf. Hemacandra p. 31a.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramLambitā (लम्बिता) refers to “that (garland) which hangs down (from one’s neck)”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] (He has) a garland made of sacred gems that hangs down (lambitā) (from his neck) to the soles of (his) feet. In the midst of the Vaḍava Fire, he is delighted by the bliss of his own energy. Within the womb of the Vaḍava Fire in the Transmental within the Circle of Brahmā, he is successful by means of the Yoga of the Vaḍava (Fire) which is Stillness”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
