In Hinduism

Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Samkirnaskandhaka in Chandas glossary
: Journal of the University of Bombay Volume V: Apabhramsa metres (2)

ṃkīṇa첹Ի󲹰첹 (संकीर्णस्कन्धक) refers to a variation īپ, which itself is a variety of ٳ: one of the oldest Prakrit meters probably developed out of the epic Anuṣṭubh, as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Among the metres derived from the ٳ, īپ, Upagīti and Udgīti are most important. īپ is made with two first halves of a ٳ. [...] If in a īپ, 貹ñٰ were substituted for any of the ٳٰܰ without any restriction, it gets the name Vicitrā, and if a ٳٰܰ is substituted for the last long letter in each half, the īپ is called Skandhaka. [...] A ṃkīṇa첹Ի󲹰첹 is formed with one half of īپ and another of Skandhaka.—Nanditāḍhya (ٳlakṣaṇa, vv. 63-65) mentions ṃkīṇa첹Ի󲹰첹 as Gāthinī. Nanditāḍhya’s names are perhaps the older ones and are also adopted by Piṅgala at I.48, 49, 60-63.
