Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literatureSuvṛttatilaka (सुवृत्ततिलक) is the name of a work ascribed to Kṣemendra (11th century): one among the Kashmiri scholars who glorified the legacy of rhetorics with a new interpretation of the soul of poetry (aucitya). A total number of 38 works (viz., Suvṛtta-tilaka) have been recorded in the “New Catalogus Catalogorum”, which are composed by Kṣemendra. He is not only a poetician but also a scholar of high repute.
The Suvrittatilaka is a monumental work of Sanskrit prosody is a precious gift of Kṣemendra to Sanskrit Literature. It is considered as unique in its nature. In this work Kṣemendra neither introduces any new metre nor discusses all the metres used in his time. He discusses 27 popular metres which were used frequently by the poets. For the first time in the history of prosody he introduces the doṣa and guṇa of metres and their applications. While discussing on doṣas he finds faults with the poems of great poets like Kālidāsa, Bhavabhūti and even his own in the context of metrical composition.
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.
