Ashtapadi is a specific poetic-metrical form consisting of eight lines or couplets. It is most famously associated with a single, celebrated literary-musical work from the 12th century.
Information Booster:
· The Ashtapadi compositions are exclusively found in Jayadeva's "Geet Govind" (also spelt Gita Govinda).
· This seminal work consists of 24 songs, each called an Ashtapadi, which poetically narrate the divine love of Radha and Krishna and are meant to be sung in specific ragas and talas.
Additional Knowledge:

· Sahasra is not a standard text containing Ashtapadis.
· Kitab-e-Nauras is a later Persian work by Ibrahim Adil Shah II.
