((サンスクリット:अनुष्टुभ्), ) is the name of a meter and a metrical unit, found in both Vedic and Classical Sanskrit poetry, but with significant differences. By origin, an anuṣṭubh stanza is a quatrain of four lines. Each line, called a ''pāda'' (lit. "foot"), has eight syllables. ==In Vedic texts== Arnold distinguishes three varieties of anuṣṭubh in the Vedic corpus: an early free form, with very few restrictions except a general iambic ("υ - υ +") tendency in the cadence (vṛtta) of each of the four pādas; e.g. ā´ yás te sar | pirāsute | - - - - | u - u - | ágne śám ás | ti dhā´yase‖ - - u - | u - u - ‖ áiṣu dyumnám | utá śrávah | - - - u | u - u u | ā´ cittám már | tieṣu dhāh ‖ - - - - | u - u - ‖ 〔Macdonell, Arthur A., ''A Vedic Grammar for Students'' Appendix II, p. 438(Oxford University Press, 1916).〕 next, a mildly trochaic development in the opening of each pāda; and finally the development of the "epic Anuṣṭubh" (mostly in the Atharvaveda) prefiguring the classical śloka form. Although in these hymns the iambic cadence of the first verse is still the most frequent (25%) of all varieties, it is already very nearly equaled (23%) by the normal and characteristic cadence of the first verse in the epic Anuṣṭhubh (śloka), where the iambic cadence in the first verse has entirely disappeared.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anuṣṭubh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
