In Hinduism
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Durgādatta (दुर्गादत्त) (19th century), author of Vṛttamuktāvalī belongs to Mithilā as Maithila is prefixed to his name. Durgādatta introduces his patron Hindupati, a king of the Bundela tribe, presently Bundelkhand of Uttar Pradesh of modern India in his work. Among Durgādatta’s eight works in Sanskrit, Vṛttamuktāvalī is the only work on prosody.
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.
India history and geography
Durgādatta (दुर्गादत्त) is an example of a name based on Durgā mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The only name based on Goddess Durgā is ‘Durgādatta’. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (e.g., Durgādatta) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

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.
