Vritta Ratnakara of Kedara Bhatta (14th Century CE) is one of the most popular texts on Sanskrit prosody. Though there are many books on Sanskrit prosody by eminent authors like Kalidasa, Kshemendra, etc, Vritta Ratankara continues to be an essential text for Sanskrit students.

A speciality of this work is that the definition and illustration of a meter is given in one and the same verse. The verse defining a particular metre is composed in that particular meter itself. This is very helpful for a student of Sanskrit prosody.

Another speciality of this work is that it is very brief – there are merely 136 verses. The author has covered all the prominent metres of Sanskrit literature in these verses.

    Can you please tell me the meaning of lasatvritta? It is a vritta(circle/oval) of type lasat. Lasat is a posture in dance in which feet are touched by hands. But what exactly is lasat?? I want to know it with authority and with any drawing of the shape. You find this word “lasatvritta” in Shyamala dandakam of Kalidasa – “lasatvritta gambheera naabhi sarattheera saivala sankakara syama romavali bhushane Manju sambhashane”

  12. Vempati Satya Suryanarayana says:

    My above query is much out of place it appears for the subject the book deals. It(my query) can be ignored.

  13. Mahesh says:

    There is a commentary ono Vritta Ratnakara by Narayana. Name of the commentary is ‘Mani Manjari’. Where can I find that work? There is another Mani Manjari by another Narayana .. but the content is Vaishnava Acharyas.. I am looking for a “mani manjarai’ which is a work on Sanskrit Prosody.
