He is credited with numerous works and Līlāvatī is one among them. Legend says he composed this work at the instance of his daughter Līlāvatī. At the end of its first chapter 첹峦ⲹ discusses about permutation of metres and gives examples of Գṣṭܱ and ⲹٰī. 첹峦ⲹ gives method of calculation of these metres, as an instance for other metres.

Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.
