In this paper author presents a method to developing an “Online Meter Information System for Sanskrit”. Standard traditional works on meter are Pigala's Chandaśāstra and Kedāra's V•ttaratnākara. This is a substantially larger repertoire than in any other metrical tradition. Meter is a recurring pattern of stressed (accented, or long) and unstressed (unaccented, or short) syllables in lines of a set length in verse and poetry. For example, suppose a line contains ten syllables (set length) in which the first syllable is unstressed, the second is stressed, the third is unstressed, the fourth is stressed, and so on until the line reaches the tenth syllable. The meter usually depends on acoustic properties of the spoken words, such as the length or stress of their syllables, independently of their meaning. The sound attributes that determine the meter may vary from language to language, and sometimes between poetic traditions. In most classical poetic traditions, the meter of a verse can be described as a sequence of feet, each foot being a specific sequence of syllable types, such as unstressed/stressed or long/short etc. The system is able to produce the information about Sanskrit meters.
