Sanskrit verse weighs its syllables, light and heavy, and its metres are patterns of weight. Ratnākaraśānti’s treatise catalogues them, and Tibetan translators learned to reproduce their effect in a language that does not weigh syllables at all. The pages here will present the principal metres and the Tibetan solutions.
