Trishtubh (Sanskrit: त्रिष्टुभ्, IPA: [tɽɪˈʂʈʊbʱ], IAST: Triṣṭubh) is a Vedic metre of 44 syllables (four padas of eleven syllables each), or any hymn composed in this metre. It is the most prevalent metre of the Rigveda, accounting for roughly 40% of its verses.
The Trishtubh pada contains a "break" or caesura, after either four or five syllables, necessarily at a word-boundary and if possible at a syntactic break.
