Halāyudha (Sanskrit: हलायुध) wrote the Script error: No such module "lang"., a commentary on Pingala's Chandaḥśāstra, was an Indian mathematician and poet who lived and worked in the 10th century.[1] The Chandaḥśāstra by the Indian lyricist Piṅgala (3rd or 2nd century BC) somewhat cryptically describes a method of arranging two types of syllables to form metres of various lengths and counting them; as interpreted and elaborated by Halāyudha his "method of pyramidal expansion" (meru-prastāra) for counting metres is equivalent to Pascal's triangle.[2][3]
