Raḍḍā (रड्डा) is another name for Mātrā: the only metre consisting of five lines, as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Mātrā seems to be a very old Apabhraṃśa metre since it was known to Virahāṅka (see Vṛttajātisamuccaya). Piṅgala discusses [the Mātrā metre] under Raḍḍā, and gives seven varieties of it. They are Karahī (13,11,13,11,13), Nandā (14,11,14,11,14), Mohinī (19.11,19,11.19), Cārusenī (15,11,15,11,15), Bhadrā (15.12,15.12.15), Rājasenā (15,12,15,11,15) and Tālaṅkinī (16,12,16,11,16). Chandaḥkośa also does not define the metre independently but only in connection with the strophic metre called Vastu or Raḍḍā and there too gives only one variety (t.e., Piṅgala’s Cārusenī containing 15,11,15,11 and 15 mātrās in its five pādas).
