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