Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature

Mukulitā (मुकुलिता) is the name of a Sanskrit metre (chandas) to which Hemacandra (1088-1173 C.E.) assigned the alternative name of Śaśivadanā in his auto-commentary on the second chapter of the Chandonuśāsana. Mukulitā also corresponds to Makaraśīrṣā according to Bharata. Hemacandra gives these alternative names for the metres by other authorities (like Bharata), even though the number of gaṇas or letters do not differ.

How they affect the earth depends upon their color, position and shape. [...] Even Ṛṣis, reduced to mere skeletons by starvation, giving up their pious course of life, with fleshless infants in their arms. Deprived of their property by highway men, with long sighs, closed eyes [i.e., mukulita-akṣi], emaciated bodies, and with their sight dimmed with the tears of sorrow will proceed with difficulty to other lands”.
