1) 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.

Also see the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” IV. p. 209.

The Chandodīpikā is mentioned in the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” VII. p. 102.
