Shloka or śloka (Sanskrit: श्लोक śloka; meaning "song", from the root śru, "hear") is a poetic form used in Sanskrit, the classical language of India. In its usual form it consists of four pādas or quarter-verses, of 8 syllables each, or (according to an alternative analysis) of two half-verses of 16 syllables each. The meter is similar to the Vedic anuṣṭubh meter, but with stricter rules.
