Preface to this Edition

This edition of Chandastram is essentially a transliteration of the stras that arefound in the Kvyaml Series, Vol 91 (Bombay, 1938), where the full title is given as:

The Chhandas straby r Pigalanga.

With the Commentary Mitasajvan,by r Halyudha Bhaa.

With the Chhandonirukti bySamkchakravart r Madhusdana Vidyvchaspati.

Edited by Pait Kedranth of Jaipur.Third Edition.

Revised with notes byVidylakr Anant Yajnevar str Dhupkar.

The original work, as can be seen from the title, included the authorative commentaryby r Halyudha, and what amounts to two sub-commentaries. At the moment themomumental commentaries have not been prepared, and in their place I have simplyadded the metrical markings, and one or two notes, when there are difficulties thatneed explaining.

As with r Kedrabhaa's Vttaratnkara, the immediate purpose in preparing thiswork has been to have a text to accompany the Pi prosody Vuttodaya, which iscurrently in preparation, and so the amount of time I can dedicate to this work has

been unfortunately limited. Even so it has thrown much light on some of the moreintractable problems associated with the Pi work, and a study of the text isrecommended for anyone interested in Indian prosody.

Preface

Texts & Abbreviations:

VR = Vttaratnkara.

P = Vsudev Laxma Shstr Pakar (ed), Vittaratnkara of rmat Kedrabhaa,with the commentary by Nryaabhaa (3rd Edition Bombay, 1906). As on the wholethis edition seemed to be the most reliable I have made it the basis for the presentwork.

V = Welivitiye Sri Sorata Thero (ed), Vruththarathnakaraya (1926, reprinted Colombo,2001). This edition has the text printed in Devangari at the front of the book, and thishas been used for noting the variants, except where otherwise stated. The Vykhycontains a transliteration of the text into Sinhala script, and Ven. Sorata's very useful

commentary. There are many additions to the text in the Vykhy as explained in theforeword, however there are also many differences in the readings, and someomissions, which have not been explained.

S = Very Rev. C.A. Seelakkhandha Mah Sthavira (ed), Vrittaratnkara by PanditKedrabhatta, with its commentary Vrittaratnkarapancik by Prof. Sr RmacandraKavi Bhrati (Bombay, 1908).

Dh = r Dharnanda str (ed), r Bhaakedraviracitam Vttaratnkaram (1 stprinting Delhi, 1972, reprinted 1999); the text as printed at the beginning of the book

(pgs xiii - xxiii) has been compared for the variant readings.Other works consulted:

Ch = Pait Kedranth of Jaypur (ed), Chhandas stra by r Pigalanga, withthe commentary Mitasajvan by r Halyudha Bhaa (3rd edition Bombay, 1938).The most authoritive work on Sanskrit prosody, written as stras, rather than askriks, as with VR, ChM, SB, Vutt. etc.

ChM = Vsudev Laxma Shstr Pakar (ed), Chhandomajar of Gagdsa(Bombay, 1906). Published together with P.

B = Vsudev Laxma Shstr Pakar (ed), rutabodha of Klidsa (Bombay, 1906).Published together with P.

Vutt: Vuttodaya, The Composition of Metre, by Ven. Sagharakkhita, nandajotiBhikkhu (ed, 2003). Vuttodaya is an edited translation of Vttaratnkara into Pimade by Sagharakkhita Mahsmi. We can often see from the translation whatreading Ven. Sagharakkhita had in the manuscripts he was following and thissometimes helps us to reconstruct the text of Vttaratnkara, at least so far as it wasknown in 12th century r Lanka.

Vttaratnkara

The immediate purpose in preparing this edition of Vttaratnkara was to have a textto accompany the edition of Vuttodaya that is currently under preperation. Vuttodayaitself is an edited translation of the Sanskrit work, and we therefore are in an almostunique position of being able to show what the lines looked like in the Sanskrit,together with its Pi translation.

Although in the body of the text the normal sort of variants occur, in the Samavttasection (Ttyo 'dhyya) in particular the variations are very great. The samavttametres are the main metres used in the Classical period, and it seems everybody feltfree to augment the metres listed in this section, so that it is almost impossible to seewhat the original text must have looked like.

Because of this, in preparing this edition I have tried to err on the side of caution, andhave only admitted a krik into the text, when it is supported by all the editionsconsulted. Verse 5 of the present work states that the book will describe 136 metres

(only).

As the text stands the Sama-, Ardhasama-, & Viamavtta sections alone account for127 metres; and if we count the metres in the Mtrvtta section there are 25 metres.When we compare the present text of Vttaratnkara with Chandastra & Vuttodaya,we can see that there are some metres in the former text not found in either of theothers. Nearly all of these occur in the Samavtta section of the text, which is wherethe main variations occur anyway. If we were to exclude those metres from the text,the number given in verse 5 would in fact be about correct.

I would therefore suggest that all the metres in the Samavtta section upto Pkti inSupratih (i.e. vss 65 - 70), are probably additions;1 and the same applies to thefollowing metres: 72; Vasumat 73; Mauktikaml 104; Upasthit 105; Maiml 118;Prabh 125; Mlan 126; El 144; Candralekh 145; Narkuaka 153. I have thereforeplaced these metres in brackets in this edition, although nothing definite about theirstatus can be made until someone examines the manuscript evidence and establishes anauthorative edition.

In this edition I have adopted certain usages, like normally writing cch in place of chafter short vowels; omitting the doubling of certain akara after r, e.g. ry, in place ofryy; ardh, in place of arddh; prakrtita, in place of prakrttita, etc. These variants,

which occur in the editions consulted, are merely orthographical, and have thereforenot been noted in the variant readings.

Vuttodaya reads: tad-udharaa yath; and is followed by the example. We may surmisefrom this that Ven. Sagharakkhita had this line in the copy of VR that he was translating,and improved on it by including it in the verse itself.

9 S, Dh, P fn: navaudana.10 P fn: picchalni.11 This verse is written in ry metre, the point being made is that the last syllable of sundari

in the 2nd pdayuga has to be scanned as light, despite being followed by a double consonantgr-, which would normally make it heavy by position.

of the ry group of metres.7 The descriptions of ikh and Khaj, which follows, occur in the Ardhasamavtta section in

Ch, and agrees with the description given here.A second metre called ikh occurs as a variety of Gtyry, there it is said to have 32 mtr

in both lines, and as having one pda all light syllables, and one pda all heavy. If the 1stpdais made up of light syllables, the name Jyot is used; if the 1stpda is all heavy syllables, thenthe name Saumy.

The metre as described here, has a Gti line in prior position, and an rygti line in theposterior position.

campakaml which shows that what distinguishes Campakaml from Rukmavat is theplacement of the word-break.

gives a much wider interpretation to the metre than Ch, which simply says:dyantvupajtaya; which means that for r Pigala only the mixing of Indravajr andUpendravajr was anticipated.

3 P, V, Dh: -prapto. P fn: prayto.4 S, V, Dh, P fn: -akhdaya. The structure of the first of the Daaka metres described here

is nicely summed up in a stra in Ch: Daakonaura; first there are 2 nagaas, which arefollowed by a number of ragaas, Caaviprapta having 7 ragaas; Ara 8, and so on -there are many more, V gives a list of 28, ending with Nanda, which has 34 ragaasfollowing the opening two nagaas!

5 Called Pracita in Ch. This metre has a different structure to the previous Daakas: first 2nagaas, then a series of yagaas.

6 S: nadvayt-paratastakrepi kvacid-daak dyante; evam-ekonasahasraravddhir-bhavati daaka vttam. S has a note to the effect that these two stras are not seen inmany of the books. They also appear to be stras rather than krikas, and so are probably notpart of the original text.

7 P omits; Dh: iti r kedrabhaaviracite vttaratnkare ttyo 'dhyya.

We really need to read sbhara- in place of smara- here for thedescription to be correct. The reading smara is probably a printer's error, owing to thesimilarity between ma & bha in Devangar script.

6 P omits; Dh: iti r kedrabhaaviracite vttaratnkare caturtho 'dhyya.7 In Vuttodaya the metres in this section are omitted, and a description of the Vaktra (Pi:

Vatta) metre is included instead. In may be stated here that the Vaktra metre is neither aMtrvtta nor a Viamavtta, and so is misplaced in both books. Ch places it at thebeginning of the Vtta section, in the fifth chapter.

rmat Klidsa

edited byVsudev Laxma Shstr Pakar

(Bombay, 1906)

A Note on this Edition

What follows is a transliteration of the text of rutabodha as it appears in the editionby Pakar, which was published in Bombay in 19061. The text is found alongside thesame editor's edition of r Kedrabhaa's Vttaratnkara, the main work in the book,and r Gagdsa's Chandomajar.

39 of the main metres in use in Sanskrit verse compositions are described in this work,2

and it therefore acts as a handy reference work for anyone with an interest in thesubject. Other works on prosody, like r Pigala's Chandastra, and rKedrabhaa's Vttaratnkara, provide a more comprehensive list that include metresthat are found only occasionally in the literature.

For reference in this edition I have added in the metrical markings ( = a lightsyllable; and a heavy syllable). I have also compiled a Table of Contents, and anIndex arranged in the Sanskrit alphabetical order, and added a few notes to clarifycertain points.

nandajoti Bhikkhu

1 rutabodha in this edition is attributed to r Klidsa, but according to Monier-Williams(SED), it is elsewhere attributed to r Vararuci, so that it's exact authorship appears to beuncertain.

2 These are also the main metres found in classical Pi verse texts.

There are 14 possible types of Upajti metre having a mixture of Indravajr andUpendravajr lines, all of which have been given names. The example verse is a varietycalled Bhadr. Upajti may consist of a mixture of other metres also, including ones that arenot 11 syllables in length. So that, for example, we may find a verse consisting of one lineeach of Indravajr, Upendravajr, Vaasth, & Vasantatilak - still the verse would beknown as Upajti.

2 khynak is normally counted as an Ardhasamavtta, having the structure of Indravajr inthe 1st and 3rd lines, and Upendravajr in the 2nd and 4th. Here the definition is slightlydifferent with the 1st line being Indravajr, and the rest are defined as Upendravajr.

Vipartkhynak is defined in the verse here as being the reverse of the above, i.e. having firstan Upendravajr line, then three Indravajr lines.

3 P has a note: prv, here, but that is the same as the text, so there must be some mistake here.
