He skips the verse with 26 letter in each pāda in samavṛtta section and whole of ardhasama, viṣama and daṇḍaka sections in this work. He tells at the end of the work that he discussed 43 mātrā metres and 113 varṇa metres in his work.

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.
