ChhandaḥԳٲbhāskara (छ्हन्दःसिद्धान्तभास्कर) is one of the works composed by Keśava Nanda (C. 1644 C.E.). Keśava starts his work after praising Piṅgala. He says: After bowing down (respectfully) to Piṅgala and consulting the views of Piṅgala, the ChandaḥԳٲbhāskara is composed by me, the son of Vyāsa Sūrajī.
