Vṛttābhirāma (वृत्ताभिराम) is the name of a work on Sanskrit prosody ascribed to Rāmacandra Paṇḍita (19th century) who belonged to Ātreyagotra and Kṛṣṇayajurveda mentioning about this at the end of Vṛttābhirāma. Among his works this is the lone work on Sanskrit prosody. Rāmacandra praises Lord Śrīrāma, who is worshiped by the gods, protector of the three worlds (jagat), destroyer of fear of his devotees, who has excited eyes, smiling face, who killed his enemies etc. in the invocatory verse of the work. He also ascribes the Lord as his preceptor (daiśika).
