Anustubh[edit]
- Cool blog entry
- Citation: MacDonald, Anne: "Revisiting the Mūlamadhyamakakārika: Text-Critical Proposals and Problems." Indotetsugaku-Bukkyōgaku-Kenkyū 14 (2007), 25-55.

Nifty Site[edit]
- Sanskrit meter recognizer
- Classical meters only. See their complete list. Note absence of "tristubh", "jagati", "anustubh", etc.
- Śloka ('zloka' in H-K notation) not listed, but apparently recognized.
- E.g. cf. anustubh from AB.8.21
- AsandIvati dhAnyAdaM rukmiNaM haritasrajam
- azvam bahandha sAraGgaM devebhyo janamejaya
- with anustubh from SBM.13.5.4.2 (Eggeling's translation)
- AsandIvati dhAnyAdaM rukmiNaM haritasrajam
- abadhnAdazvaM sAraGgaM devebhyo janamejaya
- The first is (accidentally) recognized as a shloka but the second is not. Key point: classical shloka requires 5th syllable laghu. But vedic anustubhs don't really care. And must be accidental because the AB version is older.
Vedic[edit]

- Mangal Deva Shastri, Rg-pratisakhya
- Need Vol 3 (1937) specifically for translation and notes (scanned text available at archive.org). Beware Amazon! Vol 1 (1922) is only 36 pages and is actually just an introductory essay. Vol 2 (1931), Allahabad, is the actual text of the RP and Uvata's comm.
- Patalas 16-18 of the RP have stuff on metres. Griffith maybe got his list from here (?).
- There are xrefs to the Nidana Sutra (by Patanjali for the Samaveda, not the Buddhist one!) which has stuff on metres for samans.

Chandovicitiḥ[edit]
- attributed to Patanjali (what a mess!)
- could be apocryphal(?)
- mentioned in Rajasekhara, kavyamimamsa, link, Adhyaya 2 (search for kalpo finds it)
- CATNYP Records
- According to this catalog, Item 9, p.5, (site looks legit), this is part of the Nidana sutra. "Chandovicitiḥ, an ancillary work of Sāmaveda, is a part of Nidānasūtra attributed to Patanjali. The work elaborately deals with Vedic metres and their different varieties."

The most exhaustive compilations, such as the modern ones by Patwardhan[1] and Velankar,[2] contain over 600 metres. This is a substantially larger repertoire than in any other metrical tradition.[3]
