Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)Surakrīḍita (सुरक्रीडित) is the name of a metre similair to Bhramaradruta: an Apabhraṃśa metre classified as Dvipadi (metres with two lines in a stanza) discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Bhramaradruta has 35 mātrās in a line, made up of 2 ṣaṇmātras, 5 caturmātras, and l trimātra at the end, and is marked by the yati after the 10th and the 18th mātrās. When the yati of the Bhramaradmta is shifted to the 12th and the 20th, the 14th and the 22nd, and the 16th and the 24th, it is respectively called Surakrīḍita, Siṃhavikrānta (56), and Kuṃkumakesara. The last two varieties of the Bhramaradmta are not mentioned by Svayambhū.
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.
