छन्दःप्रवेशः - वृत्तरत्नाकराध्ययनद्वारा

An Entry into Chandas through Vritta Ratnakara

Most classical works in Sanskrit are in verse format. There is science behind these verse-constructions, understanding which, would aid in effective understanding of verses in any text. The Vrittaratnakara is one of the most popular treatises on Sanskrit prosody. It is divided into six chapters totaling 136 verses. In this course, we will be learning the third chapter of Vrittaratnakara that deals with Samavritta (each quarter of the metre having equal number of akshara-s). Along with the lakshana of each vritta, we will learn interesting verses to which we shall apply the lakshanas.
