_k_handas, i.e. skandas, and if we find that scando in Latin (from which sca (d) la), as we may gather from ascendo and descendo, meant originally striding, and that skand in Sanskrit means the same as scando in Latin, surely there can be little doubt as to the original intention of the Sanskrit name for metre, viz. _k_handas.
