Search Programme for Metre Names and Outlines

You can use this search engine to find the name of a Samavutta metre (1 - 26 syllables only),
or you can enter a metre outline and find the name (1 = light; 2 = heavy).

If you want to find the name of a metre transform diacritics into plain text
e.g. Kàntotpãóà >> Kantotpida. Partial names like Megh are allowed.

 

In order to limit the search you can enter a comma before and/or after an outline of a metre. So that typing 22 will turn up literally hundreds of metres; but typing ,22, (with a comma before and after) will only turn up one.

Similarly typing Matta will find the following 7 entries: Mattà, Mattamayårà, Mattàsã, Mattavilàsinã, Mattakrãóà, Mattàsamaka. But typing Matta, (with the comma) will only find the one metre Mattà.
