Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature1) Chandomañjarī (छन्दोमञ्जरी) by Padmanābha-datta (1350-1400 C.E.) is divided into six chapters and the chapters are named as stabakas. In the first chapter Gaṅgādāsa discussed about the types of metres and their sub-divisions, the prayojana of the work, number of gaṇas and their symbols, yati etc. He also introduces the 26 vedic metres beginning with ukthā and ending with utkṛti in this chapter. The second chapter stands for the description of various kinds of samavṛttas beginning from single letter in a pāda to 26 letters. The discussion and narration on viṣamavṛtta, ardhasamavṛtta and mātrāvṛtta can be found in third, fourth and fifth chapters subsequently. The author divides the whole vāṅmaya into two types i.e. padya and gadya with their various sub-divisions in the sixth chapter. In this chapter he also says that he was not going to deal with prastāra as it is a matter of fun (kautuka).
2) Chandomañjarī (छन्दोमञ्जरी) is the name of a text dealing with Sanskrit prosody (chandas) for which no authorship could be traced. Usually the authors mention their names, parentage etc. in the colophon of their works. But there are certain works in which, the author leaves no impression of his identity. The Chandomañjarī is mentioned in the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” VII. p. 103.
3) Chandomañjarī (छन्दोमञ्जरी) is the name of a work ascribed to Gopālacchanda. related to the topics of Sanskrit prosody (chandas) but having an unknown period of composition.
4) Chandomañjarī (छन्दोमञ्जरी) is the name of a work ascribed to Viṣṇu Bhaṭṭa related to the topics of Sanskrit prosody (chandas) but having an unknown period of composition.
4) Viṣṇu Bhaṭṭa describes the Vedic metres in the Chandomañjarī. It is different from the text (in the same name) of Gaṅgādasa. The text mainly deals with the pādas and letters in each pādas of various Vedic metres. He begins the work with the description of pādas of the metre atijagatī, which are three in numbers and the description of other metres follows. The metre Śakvarī has seven pādas with eight letters each. The atiśakvarī metre has two pādas with 16 letters each.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). 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.
