Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

Upagīta (उपगीत) (or Upasaṅgīta) is the name of a metre similair to Upagandharva: an Apabhraṃśa metre classified as Dvipadi (metres with two lines in a stanza) discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Upagandharva has 36 mātrās in each of their two lines, formed with 3 ṣaṇmātras, 4 caturmātras, and 1 dvimātra at the end, and are marked with the yati after the 12th and the 20th mātrās. When the yati of the second i.e., the Upagandharva is shifted to the 14th and the 22nd, and the 16th and the 24th mātrās respectively, it gets the names of the third and the fourth i.e., Saṅgīta and Upasaṅgīta (or Upagīta).

context information

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.
